Re: remote assistance on anetwork

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the reply,

Have done:- >Start > Run > conf, and a window opens with a "General.idf"
file and icon.

When I double click/or right click, it asks which program to open with.

Also, what will this prog' allow me to do?

Cheers

Steve

Hi, is there an English win xp "networking" news group.

Hi,

On a network of one win 98 PC and one win XP, (agreed not that large a
network!!) is it possible to view the other screen to view what is being
displayed in real time.

Also, is it possible to access the other computer as if you were using
remote
assistance.

I already have remote assistance installed on this win 98 pc.

I am having trouble with the remote assistance, I cannot even connect
the
two pc's that are on this network.(with remote assistance that is)

When I try to launch RA I am asked to type in the computer name or
choose
from the drop box, when I drop the box I get "browse for more", where I
can
see the network, but the computers are not listed (not even if I click
on
the + sign to expand it).

I have entered the name of the other PC - the winXP PC - by typing it in
and
even typed in it's IP address but still no joy!!

Have you any ideas on how to fault find the problem.

I assume that if I type in ipconfig into dos prompt the 10.0.0.7 is the
ip
address for this computer, The xp pc lists 10.0.0.14 as it's ip address.

"Haggis has suggested using http://www.realvnc.com/ would this be a
better
option.

Something simple that does the job well would be best.

Many thanks

Steve





NetMeeting works well, if you're not too bothered about what the desktop
wallpaper looks like.

Start > Run > conf
