How do I connect to another xp computer, using remote desktop. Both
computers are on the same network, I just want to be able to remotely
signon to one computer, when I am at the other.

I have all the components installed, but I don't see an option to allow
"Remote Desktop Connection".

Can some please shed some light on this issue?

thanks

Bob

The PC you want to access/connect to with Remote Desktop must be running XP Pro. An XP Home machine
can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop host. Look into using UltraVNC as an alternative or upgrade the PC
to XP Pro...
