I have recently setup a network in my house consisting of three computers using fast ethernet. All PC's have WinXP Pro installed and I enabled the remote desktop feature on all three. When I tried to connect from one computer to another using remote desktop I get this message.
'The HOME domain/workgroup does not contain and Terminal servers.'

Hi, click Start, Help and Support, in the search box, type in Remote Desktop and you get all the answers you need. It would be way too much to put it all here. Good luck. Bob

To install Remote Desktop Connection, insert the Windows XP Professional compact disc into your CD-ROM drive. When the Welcome page appears, click Perform additional tasks, and then click Set up Remote Desktop Connection. Follow the directions that appear on your screen. If you haven't done this, then you must read in the Help and Support section for sure. Bob

Do you some how need to set up your machine as a terminal server, or as a host?
