remote login setup help needed

[Guest]

I would like to setup remote login from my home to my office computer, both
are XP PRO. Having looked in the windows help file I have absolutely no idea
where to start. Could someone please give me some direction or point me
towards a good resource.

Thank you and Happy New Year

Hi Rick,
I have followed the instructions but still cannot connect remotely. Are
there any tricks of the trade? I have used the IP address as the name for
the computer and also used my user name and password. What is the "domain"
setting for?
My host computer is on (but I'm logged out) with windows firewall set to
allow exceptions, it is also connected via DSL as is my client computer.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

Try leaving it logged on, there is a bug that affects some systems where the
RD will not work if no accounts are logged on.
