Under Windows XP Pro I was able to setup a remote line from my computer (WindowsXP) to the host computer (Windows 2000) and it was successful, but where I tried to do the reverse action making windows 2000 the remote and WinXP Pro the host, I get a waiting to connect popup box and it would for more than 15 to 20 with no connection all.

Need help.

Thanks.

It could be XP's built in firewall blocking the call from your 2K box. Try disabling the firewall and see if you can connect then.

I have manage to play around with the different protocol in windows 2000. I added the NWLink and NetBIOS in configuration protocols. After that everything work fine. Under PC Anywhere, I have set the NetBIOS setting to call back to Windows XP and everything work fine. I don't know if this the correct way of doing things, if there another way of joining the two, please let me know.
