Windows Vista14
Can someone please point me to a link or Newsgroup that tells a dummy how to

setup and use Remote Desktop Connection? I have an in-house network with

three computers. Two are running Vista Home Premium and one is running

WinXP Professional. RDC tell me there are no Terminal Servers in the

Workgroup?! Also, I'm trying to connect to a remote WinXP Professional

system on a DSL network. RDC tries to connect but comes back with the

infamous "Cannot connect - try again" or " Contact your network

administrator" or something to that effect. I know I had RDC working when I

had Vista Ultimate installed..but...I thought Vista Premium would have the

same capability? Help.

The VHP computers should be able to connect to the XP Pro computer, but not

vice versa.

The Home Premium edition does not contain the RDC server.

To connect to the VHP computers, you will need to run a different remote

control program, like VNC or LogMeIn.

Thanks for the quick response. I saw some other comments in various

Newsgroups sort of indicating what you saying and my limited experience

seems to say you are correct. I guess I got lucky a few weeks ago when I

was using Vista Ultimate to test RDC, I thought it was rater painless until

I tried it on Home Premium. So reinstall Ultimate over Home Premium and I'm

back in business? Why does Home Premium have the Remote Desktop Connection

program in the Start>Accessories>Remote Desktop Connection menu if it does

not work...or...what is it good for in Home Premium? Like I said below Home

Premium did not like the other Home Premium computer I have on my in-house

Workgroup.

You get the message "no terminal servers" because you need some way to

handle NetBIOS if you try to browse your network to make an RDP connection.



However, instead of browsing just type the DNS name of the target computer,

or it's IP address.
