remote Desktop error

[Hannah]

Hi,

I enable my host computer to accept remote desktop
connections.. but when I try to connect to it from other
PC it gives me this error
"The client could not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer
might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also
possible that network problems are preventing your
connection. Please try your connection again later. If the
problem continues to occur, contact your administrator."

But Remote connections is able...

so Help me!!?!? Please?!??

P.S. I don't have a firewall.

Do you have a router? If so you need to forward port 3389 to the ip address
of the host computer.

I don't have a router either that's the thing... I don't
know what else to do...

Double check to make sure that you aren't using the Internet
Connection Firewall (under your network adapter) - not that you should
disable it - just configure it to allow Remote Desktop (TCP 3389).
