Hi:

I know this forum says Win XP, but I did not see one for Windows 2000. I
have a pc in my building that runs windows 2000. This pc is our "Build" pc
for new versions of our software. I would like to be able to log into this
"Build" pc from my office. I cannot find much documentation on setting this
up. Is this even possible to allow a Windows2000 desktop to be a host? Is
so, can someone give me a link on to what drivers or programs I need to
install?


Thanks
Trac

Assuming you are referring to Remote Desktop and have...

a) Windows 2000 Professional: No.

b) Windows 2000 Server: Yes. Add the Terminal Services component.

If the answer applicable to you was "no", you may wish to consider some
third party software. The popular expensive choice is Symantec's "PC
Anywhere" and the popular free choice is VNC:

UltraVNC is likely the best choice:
