In messenger, requests for remote assistance are sent and
seen in the messenger dialogue box of the remote
computer, but when that user accepts the invitation to
offer remote assistance, his acceptance shows in his
dialogue box, but nothing else happens beyond that on
either computer. I've tried it with the firewall off on
both computers as well with the same result.
