Title: Remote Desktop from Win 2k?
Post by: Ragmol on November 28, 2001, 03:47:24 PM

Hello Everyone,

I\'ve been trying to figure out if Win2k will make use of WinXP\'s Remote Desktop feature.  Two ways I\'ve found so far are semi-limited.  

First, you can remotely connect to another PC through NetMeeting but the host has to have NetMeeting running in the background which can be a pain.

Second, I found Remote Desktop download from Microsofts site and it claims to be able to run from any MS platform.  However I\'ve only been able to log on remotely when the other machine has Terminal Services installed only.  I can install the Remote Desktop on any machine but as yet is unbrowsable.

What the question is;  Has anyone found a way to use Remote Desktop on Win2k machines and not using WinXP at all?  

Thanks,

Frank
