You say the machines are connected to the Internet but you don't say how. Are they at the same location on different subnets? Both IP addresses are in the private range so there must be something doing NAT between them and the Internet. Is there a firewall in place? If so you will have to open the appropriate TCP ports to allow the remote connections through. (It's port 3389 if you want to use XP's Remote Desktop Connection.)

well, first of all operating system on both machine is windows 2000 with netmeeting installed
second thing both pcs are connected thorough one internet connection shared by ISA server....
Computer A were able to initiate a connection to the other ip means in netmeeting if computer A(192.168.1.65) dial 202.135.65.35 (ip of another computer) it successfully get connected and can share the desktop...haven't checked about the second computer.
of course the subnets are different also there is no physicall connection between these two network you can say that they are in total separate places far away in distance.
any more information you need to know?

imnajam,
have you tryied vnc? I think it is easier to configure, and you can use it with Win2k... what you need to do is open traffic for VNC as you specify on it´s installation, and get connected through the wan IP... obviusly ther some more configurations that you need to do, if you need further information let me know!
Good luck!

well I know many solution for just simple desktop sharing but here the problem is that the both pcs are on different LAN and the ip address is in private range but different subnets aswell as different location.
are you using win2k? or win2003? cause in that case you just need to establish a VPN, and get your server as DHCP, and when yuo establish the VPN the server will assign you an IP in the same range, so you won´t have any problem, hope this helps... if not, please let me know...

well setting up a vpn is a problem because what I think is to connect to that vpn I need to have a modem!!! which I don't have or don't want to use.
I am using windows 2000

You do not need a modem to use VPN on windows 2000.

didierblaylock & JohnItem: you both suggest using a port forwarding method which is usually not an option because.
anyways, can you give me the details about how to setup a port forwarding REMOTELY with Administrative privelage.
thanks

Oops sorry no router available!
so no 1723 traffic routing... if you configure internet connection on your Win2k, you will receive authentication directly to your VPN server, it`s unsecure, but test it... if not, there´s no more to say...
ASKER
security is not an issue!...not willing to create vpn......port forwarding might be good......willing to know how can I forward port without enabling routing and remote access in win 2k
try this service... logmein.com they've got a free version which is probably good enough for your purposes....
good luck...
