[QUOTE="Sgt Beavis, post: 429260, member: 21840"] I missed the part about XP HOME. I can't remember if it has it or not. Right click MY COMPUTER, Select Properties, and go to the REMOTE tab. If you have a dialog box for REMOTE DESKTOP then it should work. If its not there, then you'll want to go with VNC. Note that Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop are not the same thing... As for Telnet, you want to do that FROM the Mac. Open Terminal and type in the following Telnet <ipaddress> 3389 Replace <ipaddress> with the IP of the windows box you are trying to connect to. Be sure there is a space between the IP address and the port number, 3389. [/QUOTE]
