Hi,
I read many threads in this forum on RDC and port forwarding to 3389 etc. but I can't find a solution to my problem.
I have a LinkSys router and two XP machines on my home LAN. The machines can see each other in My Network Places.
But I want to be able to access the second machine with XP's Remote Desktop Connection. Specifically, I want to log into that second computer in one session while someone else is logged in that second computer at the console.
I have forwarded my LinkSys to port 3389 for the internal IP on the second computer. In fact I did that for both computers. I have tried using the internal IP address as well as the computer name of the second machine for the Computer field on the RDC connection document, but I keep getting the following error:
The client could not connect to the client computer. Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy ...
Requirment: Access a second computer inside a home LAN with a LinkSys router from the first computer while another user is at the console of the second computer.
Thanks in advance
