Remote Desktop Troubleshoot

[Hass]

I have two desktop PCs in a workgroug, PC1 and PC2. Both
run Win XP Pro. Both are set up to be remote desktops. I
am fairly confident they are set up correctly. A DSL line
and a Linksys router connect PC1 to the Internet.

I have been learning about and testing the remote desktop
feature. I can use PC2 to remotely connect to PC1. But I
cannot get to PC2 from PC1.

I appreciate the help. Thx.

Hi,

Does PC2 have:

- The firewall enabled? (if so, you must disable it)
- Remote Desktop connections enabled? (System properties/remote tab)
