I have win xp Pro and I wanted to try Remote Desktop without any Programs.

Now before I start I want to let anyone that can help me know that I know there is all these Programs and even FREE Programs that will make this a whole lot fater and may work batter.

But I am trying to do this without anything but the Operating Systems on both computers.

Now me an my Aunt both have DSL and we both have Verizon Internet an we both have win xp pro.
So what I had her do was go into her Windows Firewall and Under the Acaptions Tab I had her put a Checkmark in Remote Desktop and Allow Remote Assistance.

Then I had her Right click on her My Computer Icon and go into Propeties and then Click on the Remote Tab and put a checkmark in Allow Remote.

Then I had her go into the DOS window and type
ipconfig

And this brings up all the specs I need. So I just had her read to me the Line that says ip adress and I had her give me the string of numbers.

Now when I bring up my Remote Connection Window the one in Accesorys the Connection box I type in her ip address numbers with the DOTs then I whent to Options and I put a checkmark in the Box that say allow Hard Drive Use.

I go to click on the connect Tab and a window comes up that says.
You Cannot Connect To The Computer.

Now everything I read and every Video I look at on YouTube tells me to do just these things and nothing more.
What am I not doing???????
 
I know this is a late reply, but are you still having problems connecting and if so is the computer you are trying to connect to behind a router?
 
Please help

I am still trying to Connect my computer to my Aunnts to see if I can do Rome Desktop.

Me and my Aun are not going through any Firewalls or Routers or anything like this.

I do not want to use any outside Programs because I want to try this without them.

And I know it can bee doen it has been doenby other people.

We both have win xp and I have win xp pro and she has win xp houme???
 
XP Home does not support or have remote desktop built in, only the pro version does.

The easiest and cheapest way to do this is via log me in, from here

www.logmein.com

Which is free!
 
Remote desktop requires XP PRO. Remote assistance can use either. However, I have googled and I guess there is a trick to get remote desktop to work with XP Home. I don't want to post the link cause you have to convert home to pro and that legally can't be done.

Sorry Tlarkin, was googling when you posted.
