Windows 7 RDP not working on home LAN
I have 2 Windows 7 Professional pcs hanging off of the same router. I cannot RDP - authentication fails. One thing to note: when I try to add people who can log on in remote administration, neither PC allows me to see the other PC. Any ideas? Any really good Windows 7 RDP resources online out there?
Thanks!

Does that user you added to RDP have a password assigned?

I can't add anybody from the other PC, that's the problem. But all admin users do have passwords, yes.
Are you RDPing into another network such as using a VPN or is it just in your local LAN connection?
Make sure network discovery is on both pcs if its just your local LAN pc you are try to see through the network and sharing center in control panel

If all the users have admin rights you don't have to add them to RPD users. You should be able to login using the admin account from other computer.
you have to add the users to each computers administrators or rdp users groups. you can't add \\computer1\username to \\computer2's allowed users list since it has nothing to authenticate against. i.e. computer1 does not have access to the usernames on computer2 when it is trying to authenticate.. there is nothing in common.
