Remote Desktop Connection
Hi,
As long as the computer you're trying to connect to has Windows XP Pro then you'll be able to connect to it using the Remote Desktop Connection application in your Start - All Programs - Accessories - Communications This is granted that the WinXP Pro machine has the Remote Desktop Connection enabled through the Properties of My Computer and then in the Remote tab, where it says "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer". -- Gary Tsang Microsoft MVP - Windows XP Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp "DollarBill" wrote in message ...

Remote Desktop Connection
Hi,
Unfortunately you won't be able to use Windows XP's Remote Desktop Connection on your WinXP Home machine as the server. You can however use other remote control software such as Symantec's pcAnywhere, or RealVNC (Virtual Network Computing) at http://www.realvnc.com/ which is free. -- Gary Tsang Microsoft MVP - Windows XP Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp "DollarBill" wrote in message .. .
