Hi Which XPs can you remote assistance to and from. Does everything have to
be XP Pro? Does the host have to be pro. What about remoting to an XP home
from XP Media Center Edition 2005?

Thanks

You can use the client to remote FROM any WIndows OS to Windows XP Professional or superset OS (Media Center, 64 Bit, Tablet PC Edition, etc.) You can also use the client to connect to Terminal Services on WIndows 2000 Servers (when enabled) as well as Windows 2003 Servers. The computer you are using to connect to the remote computer can be any windows OS (98+) - as long as you have the client installed. The computer you are remoting TO must be one of the above (Windows XP Professional or Superset, Windows 2000 server (enabled) or Windows 2003 Server.) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Treggeee wrote: > there is someone there Then they have to send you an "invitation" in some manner.. (File, email, MSN Messenger, etc.) You get said invitation and accept it - connecting to their machine (given their firewall settings, port forwarding, etc is all correct.) You will be in "view only" mode. You can ask them to take over their screen and they can allow that and they can even disconnect you at will after that. Is what you are looking for a way to assist that person with something? Or are you trying to find a way to use your computer remotely - whenever and however you want? Do you want the people in front of the computer you are remoting to able to see and manipulate what you are doing or not? Will the people there always be there for you to get the invitation from and accept your attempt to connect and - if needed - grant you full control of their computer? With Windows XP Home, there is no built-in mechanism to remotely control the system without the "invitation being sent", "invitation being used", "connection made and invitation accepted by the person who did the inviting", "request for full control made by the person who was invited" and "granting of full control by the person who did the inviting." You can install and use TightVNC or UltraVNC to remotely control a Windows XP Home machine. It is a third-party product. It requires installation and configuration seperate from that of Remote Desktop/Remote Assistance. Different ports must be opened in firewalls and forwarded through routers. A different client must be used to make the connection to the remote machine.

Dont be a linux snob! There are remote (RDP) clients for linux also. For the OP: You can make any windows machine into a VNC server or client with ultravnc that is free http://www.ultravnc.com/ VNC is similar to remote desktop also you can use msn messenger (that actually uses netmeeting) to use shared desktop on any windows machine. -- www.computerboom.com "Shenan Stanley" <newshelper DeleteThis @gmail.com> wrote in message news:Oj5scWpTGHA.1204@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Treggeee wrote: >> Hi Which XPs can you remote assistance to and from.

Oh no you cannot fool me. They do not use win98 either nor asked about it. The OP's question was about XPs... you went ahead and included other OS that the OP did not talk about, which was "all versions of windows 98+", and you did not include linux. Your correct answer to me should be "Sorry I overlooked the linux possibility". The correct way to ANSWER questions is to include information that others using google groups may find useful. (For example you can use RDP from a pocket pc computer.) You can add that to your sig. -Kenny -- www.computerboom.com "Shenan Stanley" <newshelper.RemoveThis@gmail.com> wrote in message news:%23hpsysqTGHA.4772@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > kenny wrote: >> Dont be a linux snob!

The user's level of computer knowledge was limited to Windows.. They asked if all parties involved had to be Windows XP Pro. They centered their question around Windows - Microsoft centric-OSes. Therefore my answer was centered around Microsoft Centric OSes. I notice you did not add the Mac Client to your rant..
