I have 2 machines, both XP Pro SP2 connected via a peer-to-peer LAN.
When I try to connect the Remote desktop, I get the following error:

"The domain/workgroup does not contain any terminal servers". How do I
get terminal servers installed? The Help and support is particularly UN
helpful on this.

Are you trying to use the "browse" feature to find the other PC? If so,
that 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...

Thanks - I discovered that about 5 seconds ago! All now seems to be
fine. It's a very great shame that the XP Help and Support doesn't say
that "browse" doesn't work in a workgroup environment....

Reboot each PC after making the change...
