Remote desktop on a windows 98 comp

[Qbat]

I have a server running windows 98.. and I want to remote that server with Remote Desktop Connections on a windows xp computer... how do I do that? does it work?

You can remotely access your XP box from your Win98 box using the remote desktop feature in XP, but not vice versa.

You could however use a third pary app such as this :Real VNC

Its free, and you can then remotely access your Win98 box from your XP box.

I'm currently using the app to access my Win2K box on my Lan.

Works nice.

First you have to install rdc on the win98 machine its on the windows xp cd and then look here for more info.

or try this at microsoft :D

Instead of Real VNC, try Tight VNC!

he didnt say he was using an OS called "Windows 98 Server" he just said he had a server and it was running win98

Just as, if not more Bizarre...

Since RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is only included with Windows 2000 Pro and Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, the answer would be no. VNC's are cool, but not as secure as RDP.

Yes, I knew what he meant, I was emphasizing that 98 isn't a Server OS.

It's barely even a workstation OS

I guess Symantec's PC Anyware would help :rolleyes:
