At work, I have XP Home and XP Pro at home.

Is there anyway Home can support remote desktop access like Pro can?

Thanks
 
No...not as a host, only as a client...

If you need to access/control a XP Home desktop , then look at VNC or NetMeeting RDS. Get the VNC
server and client from...

http://www.realvnc.com or
http://www.tightvnc.com

NetMeeting is built-in to XP and 2000 and can *NOT* be upgraded. Look at this KB article for help
with RDS...

If this is over the public internet, then keep in mind the VNC data link is *NOT* encrypted like the
NetMeeting RDS link is, if that matters to you. Some folks run VNC through SSH or VPN tunnels.
 
Awesome, thanks for the information.
