Keyboard problems after remotely connecting

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Some keyboards have the numberpad built into the letter part of the keyboard. So "J" would be 1, "K" would be 2, "I" would be 5, etc. If you had num lock on while you were connected then those settings were transfered over to him. So try turning off Num. Lock. I think that that is your problem.

all you have to do is turn num lock off on the computer with keyboard problems
