Remote Desktop XP->Win2000

[Guest]

Hello All,
I have 2 machines hooked up using a home network. One machine(XP) is
directly wired to the router, and the other machine(Win 2000) is wirlessly
hooked to the router. I can share files from either machines. I can control
my XP machine using the win2000 machine, using remote desktop on the win2000
machine. But the other way around, controlling my win2000 machine using the
XP, is not working. It keeps saying that it cannot find the client. On the
win 2000 machine I have set up netmeeting and activated remote desktop
sharing. But inspite of this it doesnot work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
PHK

Unless the W2K box is a server running Terminal Server you will need to use
an alternate method. I recommend UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in and
optional video driver for the W2K server/host.

NetMeeting RDS is *NOT* compatible with XP Pro Remote Desktop. They are two
very different programs...
