Remote Desktop Connection - pls help

[Guest]

Hi

I am trying to use RDC in the Netware Environment. Most of Pcs are Wins 2K
Pro and couple of Wins XP Pro.
I have tried connecting between 2 Wins 2K based pcs with Termnial Service
client installed, NO connection the error message :

"The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections
might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new
connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your
connection. Please try your connection again later. If the problem continues
to occur, contact your administrator."

Can I use a Wins XP Pro pc to connect a Wins 2k Pro with TS client installed?
Please tell me the better solution.
Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

Q. How can I Remote Control my Windows 2000 Professional client?

A. You can't do this with the Remote Desktop Protocol client. A
Windows 2000 Professional workstation can only be an rdp client,
not a host.
Use NetMeeting or VNC instead to connect to your W2K Pro desktop.
