Remote desktop access

I have a great wireless network - no problem file sharing - no problem pinging.
I have set up the XP's to allow remote access. Firewalls are off. I am
using a Linksys Router & a Linksys Access point. I cannot use remote desktop
access inside my network which is all I want to do. When I browse for
computers on the network I can see my workgroup (not individual computers).
I receive this message.
The domain/workgroup does not contain any terminal servers.

ANY IDEAS.

try just typing in the name or ip address of the machine you want to connect
to.

I forgot to mention that I have done that - I get the message that the
computer may be busy or network settings may not be correct

Jack thanks for the links but I have followed them already with no luck - I
do not believe my PC is listening on TCP Port 3389 in fact it is not even
listed on netstat -a command as an active connection?

If its not listening do you have Remote Desktop enabled on the PC your
trying to connect to? Remember you can only remotely access/control a XP
Pro/MCE or Vista Ultimate/Business PC. XP Home edition or Vista Home
Premium/Basic can not act a Remote Desktop hosts. If your not sure what
version your running type the winver command from the "Start -> Run" window.

As far as browsing normally you can't do that in a work group environment
without doing a registry hack.

ok ok that is the problem - I am running XP home edition - I assumed since
remote desktop is in the OS I could use it - I guess not. Can I download
software that will allow for remote desktop inside my wireless network with 2
XP Home edition computers?

I always recommend UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in and mirror driver in
a case like this.
