Remote Desktop - W2KPro to XP Pro

[Ed Westphal]

On my home LAN, I have 2 machines. One with W2KPro, the other with XP Pro. I
can use remote desktop on the W2K Pro machine to connect to the XP Pro
machine. However, the XP machine can't connect to the W2K machine. All other
networking functions work fine. All drives, devices, etc. are easily shared
between both machines. The only problem is the XP machine failure connecting
to W2K. The message is:
"The client could not connect to the remote computer."
"Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy
to accept new connections."
"It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection."
"Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur,
contact your administratot."

I've checked all this and can't find the problem. Please advise. Thanks.

The remote desktop feature was introduced in Windows XP. With Windows 2000
Pro, you have to go with 3rd party software like VNC or PCAnywhere.

W2K can only be a client for remote desk top access. WXP is the only OS which
can accept Remote Desktop acceess.
