Guest xytsrm Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I currently have an ACER Aspire One, running XP Home. I was able to install the Remote Desktop terminal tool to access an HP computer on my network thats running XP Pro. I would like to have reciprocal capability to access the ACER from the HP. Unfortunately, appaerntly XP Home does not include the Remote Desktop access software. Is there a download (ie. plugin, etc.) to install into XP Home to allow Remote Desktop access to the ACER?
Guest Tom [Pepper] Willett Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop You cannot remote desktop into XP Home. You would need 3rd party software, such as Symantec's PC Anywhere.

Here are a couple of alternatives you might want to look into. UltraVNC http://www.uvnc.com/index.html TeamViewer http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx Good luck Nepatsfan

Guest xytsrm Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop Thanks Pepper, smlunatick and Nepatsfan. I appreciate the quick response from all of you. I was aware of WinVNC, but you've given me additional options. I was just hoping that Microsoft had a download; it just seemed odd that XP Home would have the terminal end, but not the access endpoint. Perhaps they thought the access endpoint might leave tha average home user open to attacks if they we unfamiliar with the Remote Desktop.
