No help; but a long time ago, I tried the same thing between Windows
95 and Windows 98 computers. I never got it to work, and IIRC, they
told me it couldn't be done (but I don't remember who "they" were.)
You'd think it would be possible, though.

It can be done, it is not even particularly difficult. Unfortunately
extremely difficult to explain, there are just too many things to
configure. Also, you need to open ports for listening etc. This is not
really trivial, and you need to be careful that you donīt open you
machine up to general internet access, but itīs not really hard to do.

Just asking "how do I do it", is pointless, because one would have to
cover too much ground.

If Asadi wants it done, then he can send me an e-mail, I will give him
a password for my remote support software, and I will do it for him
remotely over the internet.
