I am trying to connect from my home Pc (XP Pro) to my office server (win 2000). I am the administrator.
I have a cable modem on my end and the office PC has DSL. I am able to connect and work to the office computer, but only by doing a search on "my network places" on my home pc for the ip address of the office server. I do connect, but it seems sluggish. I heard that XP's desktop remote is better, but when I enter the ip address into the "computer name" it is asking for, it says it can not connect. why?
I installed xp's remote desktop connection on my office 2000 computer.
what am I missing??????
any help is greatly appreciated!!!
