How to Access Win2k with XP Remote Desktop

[Franklin >]

On my home network, I am trying to access one system
running Win2k with Remote Desktop on another system
running XP, but I don't know how. What do I need to setup
or install on Win2K so I can access it with XP. Thanks for
your Post.

In your situation look at VNC or NetMeeting RDS to access/control a remote W2K machine, ie. a
non-W2K Server box. Get the VNC server and client from...

NetMeeting is built-in to XP and 2000 and can *NOT* be upgraded. Look at this KB article for help
with RDS...

If this is over the public internet, then keep in mind the VNC data link is *NOT* encrypted like the
NetMeeting RDS link is, if that matters to you. Some folks run VNC through SSH or VPN tunnels.

Another alternative, and I have not tried this, is...

Hi Franklin,
With the remote desktop client you can only connect to Windows XP machines
or Windows 2000/2003 Server with terminal services installed. If your
running 2000 Professional you cannot connect to it using the remote desktop
client, instead you would need some 3rd party software such as VNC Viewer or
remote administrator.

2000 Server includes programs to run on the client. I don't have it installed but read 2000's TS help.

It's called Terminal Server. Server allows 2 connections for administrative purposes or you can pay and have however many you pay for.

Perhaps you can use netmeeting which is installed on XP and 2000 and has remote desktop feature built in. Netmeeting allows any 9x or NT operating system to connect to any other 9x/NT system. This is the only all platform compatable.
