Any of you guys that are running XP Professional ... could you check up on a couple of things for me?
[Mike] Yes I've just put it on a new machine 
 
Does XP pro support a terminal services session (for use from ePod etc.)?
[Mike] We think so , but it is now called remote desktop connection
BUT we have tried it (logging on >from XP machine , your programes still run in the background but all you get is a log on screen whilst the XP is acting as a slave, we are still playing with it really but it seems that if you want full terminal services you need Win 2k server
We have got that running as a stand alone server (no Monitor keyboard or mouse) with the XP remote desktopping to that, this works like a very very very fast VNC
so far I've connected to 2 PC's running win 2k server and had 3 different profiles all running their own progs on the one XP machine
BUT as for having another machine working from XP it seems that one is the limit
Havent tried  my epod yet as I'm still tring to figure out which wireless system to buy
Any Ideas ?
 
What's the hardware support like? Will it use Windows 2000 drivers for example?
[Mike] seems to and if like me you cant get drivers for the video card it seems to have a good supply  of generic ones 
 
I was hoping that the 50Mb of Windows XP Upgrade Advisor that I downloaded last night would tell me this morning whether Win XP supported the hardware on my main PC but it won't run on that machine as I have Win 2000 Server on there and it refuses to run on that platform!
