Remote Accessing my winxp computer from local network

[Faheem786]

Hi there,

I have set up a home network where 1 computer is running win 2k adv server (with Terminal service) and the other is running under win xp professional.

From the Win 2K I would like to see and work on the desktop which is running Win Xp.

I know how to access the win 2k server from Win XP using the Remote Desktop connection. But I don't know how to set up the XP computer as a host so that I can access it from other.

Pls help me on this
Thanks

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the message. But will that work with win 2k or just xp to xp? I saved an invitation and send as an email which could be opened by winxp but does not have any associated programs in win 2k.

Best Regards
Faheem

You cannot use Remote Assistance, but you can do TS client to XP RD (which is a 5.1 implementation of TS client).

Upgrade your TS client (not server) to better match the TS 5.1 RD client of XP:
