Default Remote INTO Win98/W2k?

You require a third-party solution. RealVNC is one that still supports the
legacy Windows OSes.

You can use Remote Desktop Protocol to connect *TO* a WinXP Pro machine

software is installed on those systems.

You cannot use RDP to connect FROM a WinXP Pro system except to another
WinXP Pro
system, or to Vista, or to Windows Home Server (and therefore probably to
Server
2003).

I have RDP installed on my XP machines and I am not able to remote into
my
Win98 and W2k machines. My Win98 and W2k machines **DO** remote to my
XP
machines with no problems at all.

Everything I've seen only talks about installing the RDP manually,
which I
had to do of course, since it's not part of the OS.

There is nothing to configure like there is in XP (Firewall, exception,
remote tab when you right click 'my computer', etc.

Is what I'm trying to do possible?
