Remote Desktop

[Guest]

My office has a Windows XP computer, which acts as the DHCP Server and shares
its internet connection with the rest of the office.

I have deployed remote desktop for that computer but another employee would
like to access her computer using remote desktop. Can multiple user access
multiple computers using remote desktop? If so, how is this setup?

Anyone can access any WinXP Professional PC via Remote
Desktop, provided that he/she is authorised to use Remote
Desktop on the host PC. However, only one user can access
the host PC at a time, hence no concurrent access. To launch
a Remote Desktop session, just click your own shortcut that
has this command line:

mstsc /v:NameOfHostPC

This works when both PCs are connected to the same internal
network. A number of additional measures are required if one
of them is outside the internal network.
