cboom4250 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi all. Great forums.My question involves connecting my Mac to my PC via Remote Desktop Connection for Mac. I am trying to set up my Windows machine to "allow users to connect remotely to this computer" through the system settings and remote tab, but in my remote tab on my PC all i have to choose is the option to allow remote assistance.Any help with this? I am running Windows XP, Home Edition on my PC.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auto98 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 It is on the XP Home CD, just not preinstalled. To install from the CD, insert the disc into the target machine's CD-ROM drive, select Perform Additional Tasks, and then click Install Remote Desktop Connection. - see note at bottom of http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...rdclientdl.mspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
