you need to download and install this in your windows
2000 box
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/rdclientd
l.asp
then from windows XP you need to go to start all programs
accessories communications then choose remote desktop
connection type your server IP and a valid account with
password then connect remember with default settings in
the group policy it will not accept the accounts with a
blank passwords and it will treat it as invalid passworso
you should use account with a password i hope you find it
useful

Hi XP_2600
I followed the link and looked at the description of the software. Just
confirming that you can access the Windows 2000 system from Windows XP Pro.
The way I read it is that with the software you can access the Windows XP
Pro system from the Windows 2000 system, which is the wrong way around than
what I was after.
Thanks
Mark
