Default screen sharing XP to Vista

Hello,
I have 2 monitors, the 2nd one a touch screen, and I run XP.
I would like to share my 2nd monitor with my brother so I can teach him online.
My brother has 2 monitors too and I would like to share my 2nd monitor onto his 2nd monitor while he can work on other stuff on his 1st (like run gtalk). He uses Vista.

Can anyone tell me how I should go about doing this?

Thanks in advance,
mocha

Sorry but what you want to do is impossible. There is no way to share just a single aspect of your desktop (2nd monitor) to a specific aspect of someone elses machine (their 2nd monitor).

You either share the whole desktop or nothing at all. Remote Desktop, VNC, TeamViewer and all the other programs that can do this will all act this way.

Thanks mak for the reply. I am looking at TeamViewer to see if I can use it to maybe share a smartboard.
Though I am not an expert I hate the fact that simple technology doesnt work our way even with a little effort.
