You can ask for help in the usual way.

Remote Desktop (last resort!)

In some cases, there is no alternative to working on your work PC. However this should be a last resort and not to be used all the time. It puts the most strain on the VPN service and it requires the PC to have a permanent IP address, which is not the common situation.

If you really need this, please send e-mail to postmaster@science.ru.nl with the following information:

  • who is maintaining the PC? You, C&CZ or ISC
  • hostname or ip address of your PC
    Sometimes additional information like room number and outlet number helps to resolve ambiguities
  • the username you use to login to the PC (in case PC is managed by C&CZ)
  • reason why you need it (we may know alternatives you didn’t think of)

In order to use Remote Desktop you need to:

  • Setup VPN at home
  • Enable your Windows Computer at the faculty for Remote Desktop
  • Connect with remote desktop to "yourworkpc".science.ru.nl
