I didn't *do* anything. I just tried it and it worked. I hooked one of
my Windows XP machines direct to the internet to make sure it would work
out of the network. I sent an email invitation to the XP machine with
the Vista one, and it worked. I could access the Vista desktop with full
control from the XP machine. Then I tried it the other way around. Got
full control of the XP desktop with the Vista machine.

Menno,

I was glad to read your post and would like to verify something with you
since you are the first to say what I have been saying.

I was able to work on an XP machine remotely after having received the
invitation email from a Vista machine when on my own network but using 2
different network cables.

Microsoft insists it should not work that way but I too did what you did so
does it have something to do with having it on our own network.

Once I sent the computer to my dad and we tried where I with the XP machine
and he with the Vista machine, I can never connect even after entering the
password he provides me with to connect.

Can you shed some light on this subject. I am hoping I do not have to
install Vista on my machine at this point.

I would really appreciate it.

I haven't tried that yet. I can simulate that, though, by taking one of my
computers out of the network and connecting it directly to the internet.
I'll give it a try here a little later on and let you know what happens.
