We have a NT Server network, with XP workstations conected to the internet
via BroadBand and a router.

Is it posible to use remote dektop to connect a XP machine to the NT network?

What do you mean by "use remote dektop to connect a XP machine to the NT?"

Is it possible to connect a Windows XP Professional machine to an NT Domain?
Sure. Just join the XP Pro machine to the domain. You won't have all the
control you would have with 2000/2003 servers instead of NT - but you can
have the XP Pro machines as member clients.

Is it possible to map NT network shares using a Windows XP Professional
machine?
Sure. Just like you map any other shares.

Is it possible to remote control a Windows XP Professional machine from an
NT server/workstation?
Sure. http://www.petri.co.il/download_rdp_5_2.htm

The "use remote dektop" part to connect the machine to the domain.. Do you
mean you remote into the Windows XP Professional machine and then join the
Windows NT domain while you are remote controlled into the Windows XP
machine? I don't see why not....

Do you mean use Windows XP Professional (some component of) to CONTROL some
machine in the NT network (such as a server?) Not really. You could use
Netmeeting... That's built into both OSes and can be used to remotely
control an NT box from Windows XP Professional. Or you could install
something similar to "UltraVNC" to remotely control an NT box.

Please - if none of this helped you - explain more clearly (based off your
original post and answers like this one) what you meant to ask. =)
 
sorry for being a bit vague,

what I have is a NT server based network at work, with XP pro workstations.
We are connected to the internet via Broadband and a router and we have a
static Ip address.

What I am trying to do is connect a XP machine to the network from home. I
have read most of the help files, but cannot seem to get connected.

Michael,

Windows NT4 Server does not support Terminal Services. In its time there
was a Windows NT4 Terminal Services Edition flavor of Windows NT4 Server.

Using only Windows NT4 Servers you cannot RDP from an XP workstation to a
Windows NT4 network.

You could potentially accomplish this by adding one Windows 2000 server to
your NT network to act as the Terminal Services host.
