access another computer
Hi,
On a network of one win 98 PC and one win XP, (agreed not that large a network!!) is it possible to view the other screen to view what is being displayed in real time. Also, is it possible to access the other computer as if you were use remote assistance. At the moment, we have O.E on this win 98 PC to do our e-mails,(via a private ISP) , is it easy to configure both PC's to be able to send e-mails if not receive, I do realise that if both PC's receive there would be several problems. Therefore, could both send and one receive, with the other able to view them. Many thanks Steve |

Hi,
I already have remote assistance installed on this win 98 pc, is this similar to the realvnc you have suggested? I am having trouble with the remote assistance, I cannot even connect the two pc's on this network. When I try to launch RA I am asked to type in the computer name or choose from the drop box, when I drop the box I get "browse for more", where I can see the network, but the computers are not listed (not even if I click on the + sign to expand it). I have entered the name of the other PC - the winXP PC - by typing it in and even typed in it's IP address but still no joy!! Have you any ideas on how to fault find the problem. I assume that if I type in ipconfig into dos prompt the 10.0.0.7 is the ip address for this computer, The xp pc lists 10.0.0.14 as it's ip address. Many thanks Steve "Haggis" wrote in message ...

Many thanks Steve try this http://www.realvnc.com/ it is a third party OS independent remote control program free for personal use. some registry touchs can make it very usefull. I would check what kind of software/hareware firewalls are running at your office. also you may have setup an account on the XP matching your logon/password for win98. if you have not already ..you may want to post over in xp networking group for a better response....(usually there are a few there come by here , I'm surprised no one else has added) Cheers! |

The networking questions are being answered but there is no response to your email question so here goes. With Outlook, Thunderbird, Starmail, etc. you can setup accounts on each machine and multiple accounts on each machine each with the ability to send via 1 or more ISP accounts. You just have to leave the messages on the server for a specified period of time allowing the other machine(s) to get the messages as well. I have 9 machines with each able to send and receive messages via two ISP's and one private domain server with email capability. Messages are left on the server for 30 days, or more, allowing each time to fetch their messages. All sent messages are copied to a common file automatically when they are sent so they can be viewed by each machine. Each machine has its own outbox in Outlook & Starmail and sent folders in Thunderbird. Each machine is able to send/receive via any of the three clients. Though redundant this arrangement has saved me several times over the years when one, or more, machines have decided to act up on occasion. Hard drive failed, mobo failed, etc. Having it happen once is all you need when your life is tied to these accounts. Outlook Express is a little to vulnerable for my comfort level. Rules can also be created to automatically move messages from individual inboxs to specified folders to reduce pressure on an inbox that receives a lot of messages. Outlook is available from M$. Thunderbird can be found on Muzilla.org. Starmail is part of an older version of StarOffice version 5.2 and is available from an Australian University download site at http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/staroffice/5.2/ and is part of a complete Office Suite with word processor, spread sheet etc. I hope you find some of this useful for your, now small but likely to grow, network.
