Remote Connection

[Guest]

I am having some troubles trying to set up a remote connections between my
lap top and desktop. Desktop is running XP Pro. Laptop is running XP Media
Center. When i try to add remote users, it is telling me that it can't find
the computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The account you need to use is local to the machine you want to remotely
access/control. So if your trying to access the desktop from the laptop
using Remote Desktop login using an account on the desktop. Remember the
account must be an administrator or be a member of the Remote Desktop Users
Group *AND* have a password.
