Hey guys,

I've been trying to RDC between two Win7 Home Premium machines on my network and just can't get it to go. Both computers have RDC enabled, are connected to the same network, have the correct credintials and, of course, are turned on ;-)

Not sure what my next step is so I'm turning to my favorite tech support folks!

Do you know their IP addresses?

Do they both support RDC, Home premium and below doesn't.

Wait a sec... Home Premium does'nt support RDC?? Then why does it have it as an option in the Control Pannel?

I do know their their IP addresses. Can I work with that?

Are you sure your not looking at Remote Assistance? Which is different from Remote Desktop.

Supposedly, there is a hack that allows you to use Remote Desktop Connection in Home Premium. I don't have Home Premium and haven't done it, so I don't know what's involved. Scroll to the bottom of the link to find the guide for enabling it. Be advised to continue at your own risk, and obliviously note that this is unsupported.
