XP Home and VPN

[Guest]

Will RDC from XP Home to XP Pro machine over VPN work?

Why I ask:

I can connect my XP Home machine to my VPN. When I try to then make a RDC
connection to an XP Pro host machine over the VPN I get "The client could not
connect to the remote coputer. Remote Connections might not be enabled or the
compter might be too busy to accept new connections." I can bypass the VPN
and connect the remote XP Home computer directly to the XP Pro host computer
using RDC. Also, I can connect a remote XP Pro machine over the VPN to the
host XP Pro computer.

Any insights?

That should work. Can you telnet port 3389 after establishing the VPN?
