Remote Desktop

[Omar Abid]

Hi,
I have two PC connected with an RJ-45 Cable, the network work good and
i can exchange data from PC To PC
Configuration :
PC1 : Windows 2003 Server (SP1)
PC2 : Windows XP (SP2)
I want to run remote desktop so i can see and manipulate PC2 with PC1
I installed Terminal Server on PC1 and I run remote desktop
Now I can see in work group (in remote desktop) only PC1 and PC2
doesn't appear
I can see PC1 with PC2 but vice-versa no !
What's the problem ?
May I install Terminal server on PC2 or what ?

If you want to remotely access/control PC2 (the XP Pro machine) from PC1
simply enable Remote Desktop on PC2. Call it using its private LAN IP
address...

If PC2 is not running XP Pro or XP MCE you need to use a third-party
application like UltraVNC.
