Re: Using RDP from a WinXP machine to Connect to a Win2000 machine

It's been a long time since I did this but it seems to me that before XP, on NT4 & W2K workstations we could do that with NetMeeting. We were using PC Anywhere but I'm almost certain that our CAD/CAM vendor did some work on our WS with NetMeeting. Did I dream about that or was I smoking something funny? I would have to try it and see, or perhaps someone here already knows.

On server versions from 2000 it works but not on professional.

I do it all the time from my WinXP machine at home with terminal
services installed on the Win2K servers at work.
