XP Pro to XP Pro

[Guest]

All:

I am unable to get a Remote Desktop session between two machines running XP
Pro. According to some of MS documents, I should be able to do this. Does
anyone have any ideas? Am I way off base in terms of trying to get this
accomplished?

Yes, you should. We need more information to help. How do you connect to each other? what's the error?

I'm connecting via TCP/IP and both machines are on the same subnet. The
reason they're on the same subnet is because I want to get it functional
prior to deploying. I have setup both machines to allow users to connect
remotely (under my computer properties).

I wish you told us the error you receive. Since both are in the same LAN, make sure no firewall blocking the Remote desktop.
