You may have to poke a hole in order to remotely connect.
I have a small network of 3 computers (2 PC's & 1 Laptop) @ home running on WIN XP Prof edition. Everytime I try to remotely access one of the Pc's, I got an error message that it cannot be connected (The client cannot be connected to the remote computer. I check my firewall settings and also the window's one, they're all allowed to have Remote Desktop Connection. I can ping any one of the computers from using one or the other. I can also share files between them..I just cannot connect Remotely. Any help please!!!
Thanks!
