What is the error message you receive?

Services: Terminal Services, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and DCOM Server Process Launcher.

The Remote Desktop feature is not available in Windows XP Home Edition. However, a computer running Windows XP Home Edition, or any version since Windows 95, can use the client software and Internet access to remotely control a computer that runs Windows XP Professional with Remote Desktop enabled. The client software is available on the installation CD for Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition.


Make sure any firewall is not blocking the required port.

Remember:

. Fast User Switching disabled
. No blank or empty passwords - the remote client must have a username and password on the Host machine
. Port 3389 must be open on the Host machine
