I'm trying to remote control a win2k pro machine by using any native win2k/xp tool. Any idea how?

I'm trying to avoid any third party tool like PC Anywhere since it will reqauire license purchase etc.

Terminal services is only available in Windows 2000 server and Windows XP

To connect remotly to your Win2K Pro box you could use PCAnywhere or a free similar tool called WinVNC...

You can use Netmeeting and set it up with Remote Desktop Sharing. It's fairly easy to set up.

First is VNC which is a piece of FREE software but you need to physically install it on client PC's.

Second is DAMEWARE which is a fantastic tool which has remote control on it which will work fine through VPN's on different domains as you can specify what security credentials to use (Uname/Pword/Domain). This installs itself as a service and can remove itself as well when logging of the client PC. It isn't free but the licencing model is perfect; 1 Licence per Admin and NOT per client! Sweet.......
