remote login issues still

[Guest]

I have enabled my host and set up my client computer. Both are running XP
pro. I still can't locate my host!!! I have used the IP address as computer
name and have entered my login information correctly and there is no way that
my host is too busy. Both internet connections are via DSL and I have set my
fire wall to allow connection - WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY? what is the "domain"
area of the remote login dialog box for? Do I need to enter something in
here?

Can anyone help???

Thanks,

Mark
