As Doug points out, Windows 2000 Professional does not support being a host
for a remote desktop or remote assistance session, only a client. You can
look into one of the various flavors of VNC for simple connection needs, or
if you need security look into one of the versions that includes encryption.

I have XP Pro at home but I need to connect to my father inlaw's computer.
He's running 2000 pro? IS there an easy way to help set this up on his end
from here? Obviously if I need to use remote assistance to help him he's
not a great PC user.
