The server I'm trying to connect to is a WinNT Workstation.
When I call NT answers, asks me for my call back number and recalls.

My XP Pro PC (client) replies to the call but then gives me a 678 error
code.
On my Xp machine I've having been able to configure Incoming Connections,
which, I presume, tells XP who can access the machine remotely ( in this
case the NT Workstaion) because I can't find the place where the
configuration takes place.
I don't have the "Click Incoming Conections" link mentioned below.
