Remote desktop connection not working
I have two desktop PC's in my home, both running XP Pro SP3. They are some distance away, but I want to use RDC to connect them wirelessly, so that I can use iTunes on the "remote" PC, and only need to keep my music updated on the host PC. They obviously share the same router to access the internet.Although neither show a Remote tab in System Properties, I can get an RDC box up by using a shortcut I created "mstsc.exe". However, when I enter the ip address of the other machine from either end, and the user name, I just get the "connection failed" error message up.If it is relevant, I have enabled Active-X on both machines, but not changed any registry settings.Thanks for any help - this is very frustrating!2 people need an answerI do too

It occurs to me...do you REALLY need to use RDC for that? Can't you just share the folder where the music files are stored and let iTunes use that as a library?

Did you ever get an answer to your question here? I have the same problem. I don't see IIS in Windows Components, and Remote Desktop doesn't come up as a section in my Computer Properties-Remote, just the Remote Assistance section. I can't seem to figure out why I don't see it as they show it in these how-to articles. Have you figured it out? Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.
