Remote Desktop problem

I have Vista Home Premium and I just tried using the remote desktop and i
keep getting the same message "This computer can't connect to the remote
computer. Try connecting again; if the problem continues contact owner of
remote computer or your network administrator"

I have a VPN connection via Citrix. There's another person at my work place
that has Vista Basic and he doesn't seem to have a problem connecting. Can
someone plase shed some light on this situation
