What versions of Windows are you running. Do you have firewalls enabled on
the individual computers? Are they both members of the same workgroup?

Hi

If all computers are on the same LAN make sure their Sharing configuration set
correctly.

May be this can Help: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

If this attempt involves over the Internet connection it is much longer “Story”

In order to be safe you need to use Remote Desktop.

or a secure Remote control program: http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html
