  Hello. I have been all over the internet trying to figure this out.
  
  I have a Windows 2000 Professional computer ona domain that I cannot RDP into from my Windows XP workstation, however I have installed the RDP client on the 2000 Pro workstation and can in fact RDP into my Windows XP workstation from it. Is there a way to enable incoming RDP sessions on the Windows 2000 Professional workstation? PLEASE HELP!!!

  There is no native support for connecting viaRDP to Windows 2000 Pro. Some alternatives you might want to look into:
  
  VNC
  PCAnywhere
  Dameware Remote Admin
  
  Or, is netmeeting sufficient for your requirements?

  VNC is free. If security is a concern, you can tunnel your VNC sessions with SSH.

  Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, Windows Netmeeting is not sufficient since there is no user at the location that the Win2K Pro computer is located. Another dillemma is money. Since I work for a government agency, they don't want to bother with licenses for anything such as PC Anywhere. Also, this is the only 2000 box on the network. Thanks again for your reply.
