Windows XP home and Windows Mobile 2003 Remote Control

[Guest]

Hi All

I would like to be able to control my Windows XP home Machine with my Pocket PC. I have tried to connect using the terminal services client as it says you need terminal services or remote desktop. I have seen reomte desktop in my start menu so i assumed it would work. But it says the server timed out. Am i going about it the wrong way? Do i need to install any other software?

Thank you in advance.

XP Home can *NOT* be a Remote Desktop host so you can *NOT* use the PocketPC built-in Terminal
Services Client to control the machine. An alternative is VNC.

Get the server software (to be installed on the XP Home box) from...
