Can't set up RDP

Hi,

I'm trying to set up RDP with W7 Home Premium 64bit. All the instructions refer to three options on the "Remote" tab on the System Properties, e.g.

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network

However, I don't see these three options. I just see a checkbox with "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer" which is checked. However when I try to connect with iTap RDP from a iPAD the connection fails. I have switched off my firewall for the duration of these tests.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,
David.

David Hi

Switching off your firewall might not be enough some have to be removed. What firewall and AV, and whats the network setup?

Thanks. It's McAfee Internet Security Suite. The network setup is just a standard private domain 192.168.x.x type setup.

That is your problem right there. RDP is not available in Home Premium. You have to be on Professional or Ultimate.
