I am unable to get one of my computers to connect via Remote Desktop/Remote Assistance with another.
Computer A: Windows XP Professional
Computer B: Windows XP Professional
Router: Linksys Wireless Router
First, from Computer A I can broswe the network and map a share from Computer B. Computer B can "see" Computer A on the network, but says that I do not have rights to that resource.
Next, I have turned on all network-related services on both computers (Terminal Services, Telnet, NetBios services, Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, all 'remote-' services) and no firewall/router issues are preventing access. Also, I am the administrator for all computers. No security policy has been set on either computer that would prevent Interactive logins, or other such restrictions.
Issue: When I go to enable either computer to accept remote desktop connections and try to add users that are allowed to connect I get the object picker window, but the Location field is always set to the local computer and I am NOT able to access any of the user objects from the other computer - I've tried the Advanced and Find features without any luck - only local objects show up. When I click the locations button to change the locations from where to get objects the only computer that shows up is the local computer. Every computer is on the same network, no conflicts, no security, no router firewall, no services not running, no ICF/ICS, and they are all on Workgroup "WG1."
WG1
+ ComputerA
+ ComputerB
Computer A can map shares from Computer B, but Computer B can't map Computer A. Neither can change the Location from which to allow users to connect remotely to the computer. All are on the same network, same workgroup, have all services running, and no firewall running, nor local security policy that would stop them from connecting.
What am I missing?
