I've set up my XP Pro computer for remote desktop
connections. I gave my dad his own admin log on & had
him try. He received an error about the computer being
to busy to accept new connections &/or the right port
might not be open. My internet firewall is not up (as a
side note) ANY IDEAS? Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Jason
 
Is there a firewall anywhere between your computer and your fathers? Or a
router? Make sure TCP port 3389 is open. You can test by opening a command
prompt and typing "telnet <host ip address> 3389"
