Guest Jethro Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I have two machines and wonder if XP Remote Desktop can be set up so that either one can operate the other. That is, normally one would have a host and one or more remotes. I have what I described before - namely two machines, so-called LEFT and RIGHT. I have Remote Desktop now set up so that the LEFT machine can indeed connect to the RIGHT machine and operate applications etc on the RIGHT machine, all the whilst locking out users on the RIGHT machine. I want to leave that intact, but set up the reverse - namely I want to execute applications on the LEFT machine from the RIGHT machine. Can I do that? I can't seem to get the RIGHT machine to set such a connection to the LEFT machine. So maybe I cannot. Anyone? Jethro
