Hi.

I have earlier been using remote desktop via webb from XP pro to XP pro on
my own local lan. Now I had to reinstall one computer with home version
instead. How will I know get remote desktop to work.

Can i use the old tsweb, eg writing tsweb in IE. There are no webserver on
my lan.

Can I install an webbserver on the home version?

If I use the built in Remote Desktop in XP Home, is it neccarey to invite an
freind, or can I connect anyway?

I have the option for allowing user to connect to this computer via remote
desktop selected.

Summary, I would like the option to connect to my computer without the need
to invite a friend every time.


PS: On an server is i possible to have on person working on the computer and
at the same time have 2 different connections to remote desktop. Is this only
possible for servers or is there an known workaronud for this?

XP Home can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop host PC. You can use UltraVNC as
an alternative. UltraVNC provides the same functionality as Remote Desktop.
