Hi all,

I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to connect to my dad's
computer. He wants me to do a remote desktop connection to his computer. I
couldn't figure out reason why I couldn't connect to his computer. Then I
saw his Windows XP has a logo: HOME edition. Is that the cause of our
failure? Is there a way for me to connect remotely to his Windows XP HOME
edition PC?

Thanks a lot

Third party applications like UltraVNC...
