Remote Desktop

[Wakenaam]

I have 2 computers in a home network, both running Windows XP Pro. Using
Windows Remote Desktop I can control one PC from the other, but not the other
way round. I tried using both names and IP addresses, but same result. Any
ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.

Can you explain with a bit more detail?

They both have Remote Desktop enabled, the ports opened through the software
firewall, username/passwords on both, etc...?

What happens when you try to connect to the one that fails - what is the
EXACT message you get?

Both computers must log in with password is what I discovered

Thanks a lot for your replies guys. The exact message is: "The client could
not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be
enabled...contact your Administrator".
