this is only possible for servers
you could use netmeeting, vnc, pcanywhere or any other desktop sharing
protocol
cause workstations do not allow logon thru TS

windows xp workstation however does allow this

Ok
Could this software (netmeeting, vnc, pcanywhere or any other) use multi
session, i.e. two or more stations use this win 2000 prof at the same time.

workstations have a limit of 10 concurrent connections
remote desktop software usually only have license limits

It depends on which software solution you use. VNC, for example, allows
multiple users but only one active session at a time - all users share the
same desktop.

I suspect you're trying to get around having a Terminal Server - which you
won't. Windows 2000 Professional will only allow one active session.
Windows 2000 Server will allow multiple sessions but either in SysAdmin mode
(two connections plus one local, not optimized for application delivery) or
in Terminal Services mode (buy licenses, run as many sessions as you have
licenses).

There is no other way to solve the problem.

You can choose site for downloading.
But actually I don`t try it.

just a quick thought:
thus meaning windows xp media center is a server ?
cause this does allow multiple sessions, right?
