Re: Remote DesktopQuestions

Do you mean Internet Information Services (IIS)? IIS is used by the Remote
Desktop Web Connection. Note that IIS and Remote Desktop (host mode) only
are included in XP Pro and I guess MCE.

If you want to remotely access/control a XP Home machine I suggest you look
at UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in and XP video drivers (for the
host/server machine).

I am trying to setup Remote Desktop Web Connection for both XP Home version
and XP Media Center. Does anybody know if this is possible, or do I have to
upgrade to XP Pro to get this to work?
I tried to open Internet Services Manager, and discovered It wasn't part
of Administrative Tools on my XP Media Center edition. Is there any way I
can get AdminTools (i.e. Admin Pack, etc.) for XP in order to do this?

Also how secure is the Remote Desktop Web Connection (compared to a VPN
connection)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
