Remote Desktop Xp to Vista can't connect

Remote Desktop Xp to Vista can't connect

This is an interesting problem in that everything seems to be set up
properly. The computer with Vista can communicate with any Xp computer
but not the other way around.

The attached image is the System properties screen with the remote tab
selected. The area highlighted in blue is missing on the Vista computer.
This computer has Home addition on it and that might be why, not sure!

Well it seems I can,t send images! Ok I will try to explain whats
missing. Basically everything below the advanced button is missing.
(Remote Desktop: Click an option, and then specify who can connect,if
needed) and everything that comes with it isn't there!

So any ideas what the problem is? Interestingly enough when Vista talks
to Xp a screen appears letting me knows that there may be problems but
everything seems to work right regardless of this error screen.

Thanks!

Hi,

Vista Home (Premium or Basic) cannot host a Remote Desktop session. You need
Business or Ultimate for that. Vista Home can be used to access a host (ie:
be a client). There are several third party solutions available.

TeamViewer requires no configuration and no forwarded ports, works through
firewalls and does not even need to be installed.
