What happens when I enable Windows Remote Assistance?

To enable Windows Remote Assistance, you select the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer check box on the Remote tab in System Properties. When you select this check box:

You can send and receive Windows Remote Assistance invitations using e-mail or a file.

You can use instant messaging to correspond with the person you are helping or who is helping you.

Windows Remote Assistance is allowed through Windows Firewall so that it can communicate with your helper's computer.

The Teredo service starts. This service allows your helper to connect to your computer using most routers (wired and wireless) that perform network address translation (NAT). The service contacts a Microsoft Teredo server to get an IPv6 address for the remote connection.

This check box does not affect Offer Remote Assistance settings on enterprise networks.

Note
To enable Remote Assistance:

Click to open System.

Click Remote settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Select the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer check box.
