    Remote Desktop to XP (HELP!)


    Okay, Basically what I am trying to achieve is I would like to be able to REMOTE DESKTOP to my Server Computer (running xp) connected to my router (wired).

    I have tried to do this, but it always gives me an error (see image).

    I am positive my computer IS ON AND RUNNING. I have included a Network Map below.

    Any and all help will be much appreciated. I just want to be able to move stuff around and access my server from my Main Computer. Thanks in advance!

    I don't believe XP Home has the RD server portion... you'd need XP Pro.

    You might try one of the VNC programs, TeamViewer, or Logmein.

    UltraVNC: Remote Support Software, Remote Support tool, Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access Software, PC Remote Control
    TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet
