I am running Windows XP SP2. The other computer is running the same.
Neither computer is running a router. Both are on DSL.
TCP 135, TCP 3389, sessmgr.exe, and helpsvc.exe are all in the XP Firewall
Exceptions list.
However, the same thing happens with both firewalls off.
When the other computer starts Remotes Assistance as the Novice, using
either e-mail or Windows Messenger, asking me, the Expert, for assistance,
everything works fine.
When, as the Novice, I request assistance, using e-mail or Windows
Messenger, the Expert computer receives my request and Accepts it. It then
attempts to connect to my computer.
After a period of time, the request times out, and the Expert gets an error
message that "The Remote Host name can not be resolved."
Question: Who is the Remote Host, the Expert or the Novice.
I have read everything I can find and still no answer.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
