Remote Desktop XP Pro -- XP Home

[Guest]

I know this is backwards,,, my "host" computer runs XP Home, my "remote" is XP Pro, so I have been unable to connect. Is there a download available for XP Home to allow it to be accessed by the remote? Thank you!!

XP Home does not include the functionality of being a Remote Desktop Host.
It can only be a client. There is no download to add this functionality.

As Marc noted you can't do that with Remote Desktop. You can, however, use NetMeeting Remote Desktop
Sharing (not compatible with XP Remote Desktop) or something like VNC. I recommend UltraVNC. Get the
server and client software from...
