Hi Imran,
With version 7 or 7.1 multi monitor support (/multimon) was introduced,
however it requires both the client and the server to support it, Win 7
is fine but I suspect Remmima is only a V6 client.
I was trying to get another feature introduced with V7 (bi-directional
audio) working from home without much joy.
The other problem you will have, as you have discovered, is that Win 7
will only allow one active connection at a time due to licence
restrictions, I have mess about with some hacks that change this, but it
required me download some third party modified windows files., which I
wouldn't recommend on a production system.
Have you thought about VNC, I find it generally isn't as responsive on a
WAN but you can tell it which screen to show. I think this would you to
do what you want.
Sorry it doesn't answer you problem, but hopefully enough you give you
some ideas.
Rgds
Peter.
