Remote Conn. :: WinXP Home to WinXP Pro

[Guest]

It is impossible to use "Remote Desktop Connection" from
a WinXP Pro PC to connect to a WinXP Home PC? I cannot
find it answered definitively anywhere. TIA

XPHome does not support Remote Desktop (as a server). It will support
Remote Assistance.

All versions of Windows can act as a remote server using VNC, however.
