You can. However there are pre-conditions in that you have to had XP configured correctly. See more here: Get started using Remote Desktop with Windows XP Professional ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.

No ... in order to configure remote desktop or a vpn you need physical access the computer first. the easiest solution i've come across is CSpace ... takes about 5 minutes to talk someone over the phone through the setup. http://cspace.in/ or hamachi + real/tight/ultra VNC http://www.hamachi.cc/ http://www.realvnc.com/ http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ http://www.tightvnc.com/ Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

I was assuming he has got somebody at the other end to either switch it on or to set things up at that end. He did say there was something on it not working. Thus I assumed a family member had told him so. ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.

"I was assuming he has got somebody at the other end to either switch it on or to set things up at that end." he better has ... otherwise he's in big doo-doo :-) Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
