You must be more specific. What are you using to connect remotely? Is is MSN messenger 6.1? If so remember that it still requires both computers to have WindowsXP. Also in MSN messenger I think there has to be someone on the other end to accept remote connection.
If this doesn't help, then try explaining your situation in more detail, WHat os are you running what type of internet connection do you have (on both pc's), are you behind a firewall? and anything else you may think will help someone understand what your problem is.

If you are using XP Pro on both machines you do not need to use the client software from the link as it is already built in to the operating system. Make sure it is enabled on the machine you want to connect to (right click My Computer> Properties >Remote) and that it is not being blocked by a firewall.
