Terminal Server

[Paul Swanson]

I would like to access a Windows 2000 (not server) system from my desktop
(xp) using remote desktop. I can access the XP computer from the Win 2K
computer.... but not the other way around.

Thanks.

This is not possible. A Windows 2000 Professional computer can only
be a client, not a server.
Use pcAnywhere or VNC or NetMeeting to connect to your W2K Prof
computer.

I thought win2k pro can act as a server? It has the server service running
and all! In a scenario on my win2k pro exam it stated that a win2k pro box
was acting as a server. Maybe it was talking about a print server.

Well, yes, the server service runs on a workstation as well. But
in the context of this newsgroup, rdp server was implied.
Sorry for being unclear.

So you're saying that I could use some kind of remote control software to
access the Win2k box?
