What is a Terminal Server?

[Jethro]

I am leaving MMR in total confusion.

As I try instead to use 'Remote Desktop Connection' from START menu, I
get the error trying to connect to my LEFT machine from my RIGHT
machine:

The MSHOME domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers

What does that mean? How do I fix whatever is wrong? How do I make
such a thing?

I can do the same type of connection the same way from my LEFT machine
to my RIGHT machine okay. Seems inconsistent doesn't it?

Help?

Thanks

Browsing does not work in a work group environment without applying a
registry hack. You can either
use the private LAN IP or the name of the PC to call or apply this hack...
Reboot each PC after making the change...
