Can someone please tell me how to remotely access a win2k desktop from an xp
remote desktop connection. The win2k machine is setup with Net meeting and I
can use Net meeting to access any other win2k machine as I set it up
correctly but because xp uses remote connection I am not sure how to enable
Net Meeting to accept remote connection. I know I can use VNC Ultra but is
there anyway I can access either machine by using the built in features, Net
Meeting or Desktop remote connection.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

XP is the first Workstation OS to allow you to use Remote Desktop (Windows
version) as a built in feature. Your Windows 2000 workstation is not
capable of hosting the needed server natively.

You will have to use third party software or upgrade the Windows 2000 to
Windows XP Professional.
 
NetMeeting is built-in to XP. Go to "Start -> Run" and type conf to start the wizard. In addition
look at this KB article for help...
