configure machines to allow "offer remote assistance" xp home

HI!

I have 2 computers on the same network both with windows xp home
installed. What I am trying to do is use the "offer remote assistance"
feature to offer remote assistance from one computer to the other.
However, when I do this, I get a message stating "permission denied".

I read that on xp professional edition, you could get around this by
setting group permissions on the computer that needed help, however the
gpedit.msc does not exist in windows home edition...

Is there some registry key or something that I can edit in order to
make the other computer be able to accept the remote assistance
offer????

thanks in advance...
