In a nutshell I'm tryin' to configure my home LAN where I
can remotely administer all computers. I have three PC's
hooked into a wireless router. One is directly cabled
where the other two are wireless via a USB adapter. I can
ping the other two PC's using the IP Address and PC name.
I have NetBios enabled on all three PC's. The
Administrator password for me is the same on all three
PC's. I've attempted to console into the wireless PC's
but have been unable. I keep getting "UserName/Password"
does not match and occasionally where the computer cannot
be found. What documentation can I reference that focuses
on the entire settings in establishing a full home LAN? I
get bits and pieces through the MSKB but it still isn't
coming together.

Thanks in advance....
 
There is a HUGE difference between trying to _access_ your computers on a
home LAN and being able to _administer_ computers on a home LAN. At one
level you need user level file/folder level permissions. At the next level
you need remote administration/administrator level permissions.

What kinds of remote administration are you trying to do? Monitoring of
hardware? Registry changes? Remote installation services?

Have you looked into remote desktop?

What operating system are all the machines running?
