I have a laptop running XP pro and a desktop running XP
home. I can remotely connect to the laptop via the
desktop, but not vice versa. I have noticed on the remote
tab under system properties of the desktop, I have the
remote assistance option, but not the remote connection
option. This option is available on the laptop. How do I
get around this????
 
XP Home edition does not include Remote Desktop as host, that is the reason there is *NO* Remote
Desktop option in the Remote tab. XP Home edition can only run as a Remote Desktop client. You
either need to upgrade the desktop to XP Pro or use another program to access/control the desktop
from the laptop. NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing or VNC are free options...
