My Windows 10 machine runs TV 15.11.6 (which is latest), my two Windows XP Home SP3 machines run TV 6 (which is also latest for WinXP). I cannot connect via TeamViewer between either of my three computers on the home LAN, even though 'Incoming LAN connections' is set to 'accept' as per your suggestion. I however have to disagree with your statement.

Also cannot use the Windows Remote Connection from my Win 10 machine because it does not work with WinXP Home versions (unless you convert from Home to Pro using hacks, which is something I do not want to do).ĭoes anyone know of some tool that can remote connect Win 10 and Win XP machines (or Win XP Home to Win XP Home machine) similar to TeamViewer, but operating within the boundaries of the home LAN meaning it does not have to go through some server somewhere on the Internet that requires account, ID, authentication and so forth? Please share thoughts and suggestions on this topic, will be greatly appreciated. I spent some time on the Internets looking for alternatives to TV, but none is much to my liking. Forgot to mention that even the 5-minute limited session is no longer available. Now I cannot connect to the storage comp either from my main computer (Windows 10 圆4, TV 15.10.5), or from the third computer on my small home LAN - another XP Home SP3 with TV 3.

Unfortunately, TeamViewer in all their wisdom decided to ditch Windows XP altogether. The last version of TV on this machine was 3. It was a simple, workable solution that served me perfectly. TeamViewer was my tool to connect to this machine from my main computer for the purpose of manually updating the antivirus definitions (Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1), browse the stored files, and finally shut down the machine when finished. For about 5 years now, I have been using a headless box running updated-to-the-last Windows XP Home SP3 to store and keep my software, games, video and music files.
