Thank you all for your advice! I don't think I checked if the server service is running on the WinXP box - I remember shutting it down some years ago in an effort to increase the security of this OS. Will look at it again when I get home tonight. Talking about security, is the vnc method the only way to secure this communication (for both machines)? Could there be perhaps ssh tunneling established between the two boxen before the rdp protocol kicks in? -- Regards, Mick
