    sure. but., instead of Display screen u have router and two LAN cable is must to use ur own computer as a display.
    Connect one cable into Raspberry and a Router. and one more Lan cable to your computer and Router.
    Use putty softare to take as Remote. beforr that you must know the raspberry pi IP Address. to know raspberry pi IP Address download Advanced IP Scanner and scan.

    Lokesh,

     

    it is very probable that this method will work but there are easiest way to reach it.

     

    1. Not needed to install an IP scanner on the IP. To know what is the IP (no matter if it is temporary IP assigned by a DHCP server, usually the ADSL router), it is sufficient the command ifconfig from the terminal
    2. Not essential to use putty (or vlc, or remote access from Windows etc.). All these methods works as well but it is sufficient enable the ssh access from remote from the Raspberry PI, it is an option of the raspi-config configuration command. Then, on the PC computer the user should start an x-terminal session with the command ssh -Y pi@[Raspberry-IP-Address] to launch any graphic application and see it on the computer monitor.
