Remote Desktop Sharing on Windows XP?

I am using Remote Desktop Sharing on my Windows 98, NT & 2K for
troubleshooting desktops. But when I try to use this feature on WinXP Prof,
it didn't work out. Can you tech me how to do this?

Are you talking about NetMeeting ?
In WinXp go to Start / Run
and type conf

If you need Desktop Sharing, I would suggest that you use Remote Desktop
instead of NetMeeting.

Thanks for the reply.

Netmeeting is much helpful for us since the desktop user and you can see the
activity that you are doing using the Remote Desktop Sharing, compared with
Remote Desktop Connection, the desktop user will not see what you are doing,
and when I will connect thru an administrator account, the user that is
currently logged on will be logged off.

Does it really mean that remote desktop sharing of Netmeeting is not
possible on Windows XP Prof?

You misunderstood.
I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm just saying there are other ways you
can help a remote user.
If the user wants to see the computer when you help him, use Remote
Assistance - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300546

If you're having problems configuring netmeeting tell me which operating
systems do you have ?
If you're just asking if it's possible to share desktop via NetMeeting on
WinXp the answer is YES.

Can I use this to trasfer files? My idea is this, I have a PC that don't
have monitor that act as a server with Windows XP Professional as OS, and
frequently, I always get some files from it and I want to use MS Netmeeting
to do that since there is a feature like file transfer. Since MS Netmeeting
can be configured to accept incoming calls thru remote desktop sharing, I
don't need to see or open the netmeeting application then share that machine
cause on Windows 2000 below, its possible to set netmeeting's remotedesktop
sharing to accept automatically.

Hope you could help me.
