Remote Desktop Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have two computers running XP Home on a wireless network.

I am trying to access either PC from the other via the Remote Desktop
Connection application but every time I try to access the other PC an error
appears saying 'The (LAN Name) domain/workgroup does not contain any
terminal servers'

I have also noticed that under the 'control panel/system/remote tab the
'remote desktop' box is missing and only the 'Remote assistance' box is
shown.

Can anyone tell what I need to do to get this working?

Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know - Remote Desktop is not available in the Home Edition.

XP Home cannot function as a Remote Desktop Host. Only Remote Assistance is
available.
