Connect remotely to Windows 2000 Pro Workstation

[Mark McCutchan]

Is there a way for me to connect to a 2000 Pro workstation
remotely like XP does? Any help would be appreciated.

No, Remote Desktop functionality was first build into XP. You'll need
PCanywhere or VNC for this.

Thanks for the response, what exactly is VNC?

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in
essence, a remote display system which allows you to view
a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine
where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet
and from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Well, for one thing, it's free.. and rather quick
too. You will need to install it on each machine.. Have
the remote user give you their IP which can be obtained
by rolling over the VNC icon in the task bar. then,
type it in and your off..

VNC variants include TightVNC (higher compression) and SshVNC (improved
security).
