I have been fooling around with the preloaded Remote Desktop Connection
software on my XP Media Center Edition. I can't get it to connect to my home
computer from school. The error message states "This Computer Can't Connect
to the Remote Computer. Try connecting again if the Problem Continues..." I
know I am trying to connect to the host computer which is connected through
to our wireless router. I am using an IP to connect. Any ideas i just get the
feeling its one little thing thats causing the problem.
Thanks

See this page for help... You need to open TCP Port 3389 on the router...
