I'm trying to get remote desktop to work with Windows XP Home edition, a
Linksys router, and 2 computers Both Dell Demension 3000s. I keep getting
network errors/try again. I type in the correct computer name, domain, user
name, and password, but still get the same error msg. Can anyone help?

Well, first if the PC you want to remotely access and control is running XP
Home then you can't use Remote Desktop. XP Home can only act as a Remote
Desktop client. If that is the case look at UltraVNC with its XP video
driver (for the server PC) and it encryption plug-in (if used over the
public internet). Get the UltraVNC software from...

If the PC you want to remotely access/control is running XP Pro then see
this page for help...
