Can't Remote to XP Home Machine

[Guest]

Sorry if this is a duplicate...

Is it possible to remote to an XP Home machine from a XP Pro machine? So
far, I can't do it. Thanks!!!

Not with Remote Desktop. I used UltraVNC in the past, which worked very
well...

If you use this over the public internet grab the optional UltraVNC
encryption plug-in as a minimum or run UltraVNC through a SSH or VPN
tunnel...

No, XP Home does not support being a Remote Desktop server. This is an XP
Pro feature.
