remote desktop

[Félix de Quintana]

Using remote desktop I can to connect to the PC host (with XP) from the
client laptop (with W95) but I can´t to the opposite, to connect at the
client from the Host

Remote desktop comes with XP only. You may want to use other remote access software like netmeeting or VNC.

Remote Desktop software is for accessing XP, not other way.

No - you installed the client.. not the server software.

Let's try this again...

You installed the Windows XP (or Windows 2003) Remote Desktop Client onto
the Windows 95 Laptop. This ONLY allows you to use the client you just
installed to remotely connect to a Windows
XP/2000/2003/2003R2/Vista/Longhorn machine from the Windows 95 laptop using
the client you just installed.

In other words - the Remote Desktop Client you installed is just that - a
CLIENT. It cannot and will not act as a host to allow you to remote into
the Windows 95 laptop. It is a one-way deal. The components needed to act
as the host are not included and cannot be installed onto the Windows 95
operating system.

You can, as suggested earlier in this thread, use other software to gain
remote access into the Windows 95 laptop. Being Windows 95 (Really Really
Old in terms of Operating Systems) I cannot say with certainty that any of
these methods will work, but...

- Netmeeting
- A flavor of VNC (TightVNC and UltraVNC come to mind.)
- Some other third party remote software (logmein.com, PCAnyWhere, etc...)

In other words - until you get some sort of HOST configured on the Windows
95 laptop - do not expect to be remotely controlling the Windows 95 laptop
from any other machine. You can install most clients onto the Windows 95
laptop and control other machines (hosts) with said clients, however. There
is no way to install the Windows XP Host part of the equation on any other
OS - Windows 95 included.

OK!, But if now I install XP onto laptop ¿if possible to access with the
remote desktop from the PC to Laptop and the same way access to the PC from
the Laptop?, now both with XP

Well - if you were to purchase another license of Windows XP Professional
(or superset) and installed it on another machine (no matter what that
machine was/where it was, etc) and connected it to the Internet/local
network and set it up so that you could remote into it (services, passwords,
ports, etc.) - then it works just like all other remote desktop services -
yes.

In your particular case - a laptop that is currently running Windows 95 *may
not* even come close to running Windows XP.
