Hi,
I would like to set up a remote desktop connection from winxp professional in my office so that i can work from home. But every time i went to the system/remote ticked the check box .. add user .. but unfortunately, i can't see any user in the network? could anyone teach me how to setup this?

this might help...
when you try and add a user make sure that it is looking in the right "location". I noticed on my PC (part of a domain) it still defaults to looking at the local machine rather than the remainder of the network.
good luck :D
