Remote Connnection

I have a small home network; two computers sharing a high speed connection via a broadband router. I am trying to setup remoted desktop so that I can access either computer from the other. I've run through the home and office network wizard as well as the remote connection wizard and both computers can see each other via the network. However, when I start Remote Destkop Connection, on either computer, neither is listed and when I try to browse the workgroup I receive an error message of " The domain/workgroup does not contain any terminal servers" Any hints, suggestions
Thanks,

Dan

Well, to answer my own question, it seems as if though the computers in the workgroup are not displayed, that connections can be made simply by typing in the computer name.

I read your posting and thought I would give remote desktop a try. I
followed the instructions to install the service but only get as far as
seeing the login screen on my browser. When I type in the name of the remote
PC I want to view it says "The client could not bonnect to the remote
computer. Remote connections might not be enabled..."

Not very helpful and I wundered if you had any ideas about potential
connection problems?

Also, do you know if this can be implemented on Windows XP Home? I'm using
Pro but it would be useful for a friend if I can get it working!

Regards, Jerry
