My office is using Windows 2000, and I'm using Windows XP
Pro in home. I would like to connect from Home to
Office. I already installed Remote Desktop Connection
Client software to my office desktop. How do I configure
remote desktop at office (using windows 2000)? Thanks.
 
I'm afraid that, to connect from home to office, you would need XP Pro at
the office end.

Windows 2000 Professional can't host a Remote Desktop connection, and there
isn't an add-on to make this possible.

Other ways of doing this are NetMeeting's Remote Desktop Sharing, or
third-party software--PCAnywhere, various remote admin packages, VNC....
 
You can also use gotomypc.com - I use this service to
connect from XP Pro to Win2000 systems and it works very
nice! Good luck
 
I use my XP pro to connect to W2K and NT4 Servers?? But I would not be able to connect to W2K pro?? What would be the difference?

Win2K Pro does not contain the Terminal Services functionality.
