I have 2 machines running XP Home Ed within a XP pro LAN.
I can access with, Remote Desktop, any XP Pro machine
from the Home Ed but cannot access the Home Ed machines
from the XP Pro.
I get the message that the computer might not be set to
accept incoming connections.
Can someone tell me how to set XP Home to accept Remote
Desktop Connections?

Thanks
 
XP Home doesn't allow for Remote Desktop, unfortunately. You'll need to
upgrade to XP Pro.
 
You can't. XP Home Edition does not act as a Remote Desktop server.

Consider using a product like VNC (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net) or
similar to gain a portion of the functionality RD provides on WinXP
Home machines.
