I need to remote desktop from a win xp pro computer to a win xp home computer. It seems that the server software is on the xp pro machine and client only is on the xp home end. Problem is I need to remote to the xp home computer to use an accounting program on it, so server and client need to be reversed. Anyone know a way to make this work? |
UltraVNC with the encryption plugin would cover security. I also use the SingleClick setup for UltraVNC. This allows me to support people without them having to have anything installed on their PC. That's my favorite part of it. It works like this:

tightVNC is a secure version that will do the trick. I use it all the time. Should be able to get a copy from freshmeat.net. Should run on XP or any other OS. [edited for spelling] |
I believe that TightVNC lacks an encryption option and traffic (other than the authentication) is in the clear. It does have the advantage over UltraVNC to run on multiple platforms though. |
I'd like the capability to do it over the internet, as well as local. I'm not going to use the Mcafee product, and I'd like to direct access, instead of using a web based third party server. There are some software products from a few different vendors, but it's hard to tell what's good and isn't. Accounting software will include things like bank account information, so secure is a must. |
