Help required with DlinkG604T

Hi helpers
I have a Athlon 2400 MHz desktop connected via an ethernet cable to a Dlink
Modem Router and a Dell Inspiration 1.84 MHz wireless enabled Laptop. I can
access the web from both computers and can manipulate the Dell from my
desktop but cannot access the desktop from the laptop. I get a message that
I may not have permission for this service. Can anyone offer any suggestions
as to what I can try
Many thanks
John

Forgot to add that the OS on laptop is XP home with SP2 and the desktop XP
Pro with SP2

And there's the answer to your problem right there. XP Home doesn't have
Remote Desktop Connection server capabilities. It can only be a client.
That's a feature reserved for XP Pro and above.
