Remote assistance with MSN

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I can connect with others pc this way, but there is a specific pc that give
me the following message:

"Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the remote
host name could not be resolved. Please try again"

Both pc are runinng XP PRO with the firewall off,

What is wrong?

TIA
