when using remote desktop is it possible to use that computer's internet connection? - nadiaaawesome - 11-09-2012 08:34 PM

So my older brother accidentally blocked some social networking sites such as facebook, twitter etc on a certain computer. My dad's computer however does not have these sites blocked. I was wondering if by using the remote desktop connection would i also be able to access these sites because i am technically using my dad's comp?

Yes, that is correct. You will be able to use those sites on your dad's computer if the sites aren't blocked on his computer. Here's a free remote access program BTW: teamviewer.com

You can also ask about how to unblock those accidental blocked sites.

Yes because you are using the remote computers settings, but it will sluggish. You would be better off to fix your computer, or ask for permission to have those sites unblocked.

if you access the browser on his computer it would work but you have to understand that you would be only seeing what his computer is doing so it wouldn't be open on your computer so if someone was to start using that computer you would see what they are doing
