Cannot connect to Windows 7 using Remote Desktop
Two PCs. Lets call it A and B. On A, I have Windows 7 Home Premium. On B, I have Windows 7 RC. On PC A, under "Remote Settings", there is only a option for "Allow Remote Assistance Connections to this computer", and that option is checked. On PC B, which is running the RC version, there is a "Remote Desktop" section, and I have "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" option checked. Thing is, I can only connect from PC A to B, but not from B to A. Is it because Windows 7 Home Premium don't really support "Remote Desktop"?

lesterhung - That would be correct. Home Premium (and other lessereditions of Windows 7)allow(s) you to connect TO a Remote Desktop but not HOST a session. You would need Professional or above (Ultimate/Enterprise) in order to host a RD session. The Remote Assistance option, btw, is not the same as remote desktop.
