How do I use Remote Desktop?

[dnoch]

Hi
I have a network of 3 computers, and tried to set up remote desktop, but it keeps saying that it could not connect and I must try again later. I use win XP home on all 3 computers.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your quick reply.
On the site you posted, it says

With the Remote Desktop feature in Windows® XP Professional

I use XP home, will it make a difference?

I do not think it will matter.

you know what.... It says that the Home edition machine can only be a client.

EDIT:

Q. Is Remote Desktop available on Windows XP Home Edition?

A. No, however you can upgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Professional to get Remote Desktop. You can use Windows XP Home Edition as the client for accessing your Windows XP Professional computer running Remote Desktop

If you want an alternative, you could use real vnc, or another such remote connection program.
