Remote assistance between XP and Vista machines
Hello,
A friend needs me to help troubleshoot an application on his Windows Vista machine. I have an XP machine, and both of happen to use routers at home (he lives in a different city), and neither of us have unique IP addresses, just local IP addresses and the address of our routers. Connecting to each others machines is therefore a bit tricky. I'd appreciate help in starting a remote assistance session with him. Thanks, - Olumide

Remote assistance between XP and Vista machines
Speaking quite frankly I highly suggest using TeamViewer as an alternative
to Remote Assistance [RA]. In my experience its much faster and easier to use than RA. TeamViewer is free for personal use. Using their connection servers you or your friend don't need to worry about opening ports on any routers or firewalls your behind. http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx Good luck... -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows - Desktop User Experience) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

TeamViewer is really, really excellent. Of course if the OP wants it for business, it is crazy expensive. But for personal use it is perfect.
