Today i have been trying Non stop to set up a Remote desktop connection over
my home network. I have opened the remote desktop connection window and this
is where i am so far. After clicking on the drop down menu next to computer
and selecting "Browse For More...". It brings up The available computers menu
and there is my HOME network. When i try to expand my home network it tells
me... "The HOME domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal Servers... and
that is where i am stuck.. i have done all steps up to this point. so i am
not sure what my problem is... i really need some help here. windows help and
support has done all it can now i need some real human expertise. thank you:)
 
Browsing does not work in a work group environment without applying a registry hack. You can either
use the private LAN IP or the name of the PC to call or apply this hack...
Reboot each PC after making the change...

The last link you sent me which happened to be the most important one is the
only one that doesnt work. its a broken link... so if you could fix that i
would appreciate it:)
 
this is frustrating i am still unable to connect and i have no idea what the
problem is. now i just get the message telling me that the computer maybe
busy or may not be set to allow remote access.. both of these i know not to
be true.. im not even sure what else to ask. any good suggestions for me? do
i maybe just need to start over with a step by step anything would help...
 
Any firewalls running on the PC your trying to connect to?
