Incoming Connections

[woolstep]

I have a problem in configuring my XP Pro for Callback from a remote Windows
NT PC.

The trouble is that I can't find where I have to configure Callback on my
PC.

In XP Help it says
Open Network Connections
Click Incoming Connections

When I open Networks Connections I don't see anything called Incoming
Connections to click on.

Do I have to install this option or service ? I can't find any reference to
this possibility though.

Any help appreciated

'Callback' is a server side setting and your remote server should be
configured for this. Once this is done, from your client, while making a
connection, you should get a callback message box where you need to type-in
the number which server should call-back.

Incoming connections are different. By creating an incoming connection, a
computer can act as a remote access server if it is running Windows 2000
Professional, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Home Edition, or if it
is a stand-alone computer running Windows 2000 Server.

Hope it helps,
Thanks,
Dinesh.

The server I'm trying to connect to is a WinNT Workstation.
When I call NT answers, asks me for my call back number and recalls.

My XP Pro PC (client) replies to the call but then gives me a 678 error
code.
On my Xp machine I've having been able to configure Incoming Connections,
which, I presume, tells XP who can access the machine remotely ( in this
case the NT Workstaion) because I can't find the place where the
configuration takes place.
I don't have the "Click Incoming Conections" link mentioned below.
