Remote Desktop Setup not working out...
Hey,
I am trying to set up my home machine to have remote desktop.. I used to do it all the time, but that is awhile ago... and I can't remember if I am doing it wrong or right....
Host
OS: WinXP Professional
Remote Desktop is set as allowed on the host ("allow users to connect remotely" is checked)
on the router I forward the port 3389 to the host machines ip address (ie 192.168.1.109)
Got my real ip by looking at router settings and verifying with "Whatismyip.com"
Client
OS: WinXP Home
Start -> accessories ->communication -> Remote Desktop
enter in username: (the real ip)
connect....
that should do it.. but it doesnt...
I tested it internally by using the computers name..and that works...

Your client OS is XP Home. I believe that Remote Desktop only works with Pro.

Just found this link. It's looking like you will need to run the Remote Assistance.
"To use Remote Desktop, you need the following:
Windows XP Professional installed on your office computer, or whichever computer you plan to operate remotely."
