Unlike remote desktop, it allows the person you are helping to see the screen at the same time. remote desktop will lock out local users. XP was the first version of windows to have remote assistance. Every version since has had a copy of remote assistance. It will incorporate with Microsoft email programs to make it easier or you can save it as a file and then use your own email program to send the file. & also has a feature called Easy Connect, but that doesn’t always work.

Internet Connection Sharing
Internet Connection Sharing is a way to share your internet connection for other computers. It requires two network cards on your computer. It also requires a crossover cable or a switch/hub between your network cards. You can use this if you have to pay for an internet connection. With ICS two or more people can connect while only paying for one. You can also use this to make a machine as a gateway for your office. However, complications arise if you are running a Windows Active Directory domain or already have a DHCP server. This feature is available on Microsoft Windows 2000, xp, vista, 7, server 2000, 2003, 2008.
