Why can I not accept Remote Assistance invitations from another Messenger
user on my network? I have my childrens' two computers on my home network
running Windows XP Home Editon an all three computers. XP_SP2 is installed
on all three machines and there are exceptions listed in Windows Firewall to
accept these connections. I can't seem to connect through Remote Desktop
either.
 
You can't connect via Remote Desktop because that feature isn't included in
XP Home Edition.

Al's given a very clear explanation of how you can make this work on your
LAN without using Messenger.
 
Thanks...I missed the XP Home part completely...:-)
