i have been messing with this for days now, and i absolutely cannot figure
out how to view a remote desktop on a 2000 machine. I want to view the 2k
machine from an XP. help would be amazing.

thanks,

Assuming Windows 2000 Professional (not server) - you need a third party
application (or perhaps NetMeeting would do it - been a while...)

I suggest UltraVNC or some other flavor of VNC.

A Windows 2K system cannot host a remote desktop session. It can only act as a
client.

You might consider trying one of these third party apps.

UltraVNC

Good luck

<clarification> Windows 2000 Professional </clarification>

Windows 2000 Server can have terminal services enabled in Remote
Administration mode.

And you can use the remote desktop client to connect to the Windows 2000
Server then...
