Remote desktop connection problem?

I have four computers on a very basic network. one computer running windows
vista business. one running xp pro. and two running windows xo home. I have
set them up so now I can see and enter all computers from any computer I
think. the problem is when I tried to open up a remote desktop connection to
one of the other computers I kept getting this message. THIS COMPUTER CAN'T
CONNECT TO THE REMOTE COMPUTER? i THINK MOST OF YOU WILL KNOW THE REST.
Can someone help. Also if any person is having trouble with their computers
not seeing each other then do what I have done. I was having trouble
connecting all my computers upto the network until I bought a copy of
Microsoft live one care and installed it on to three computers and now
everything is ok. but I still cannot connect to a remote computer.

Have you enabled the remote desktop? Can you telnet port 3389? Or following
search results may help.

Which computer can you not connect to, ie. the Vista Business or XP Pro
machine?

What is the exact error message?

In your case make sure Network Level Authentication (NLA) is *disabled* on
the Vista Business machine and the XP machines.

Thank you for your help. First I have enabled remote desktop, but do not know
how to telnet port 3380? is this the same as ping or ipconfig? any help here
would be welcome. I have a Netgear wirleless adsl firewall router DG834G how
do I configure this for remote desktop.

Thank you fot the information. there is a lot to take in, but at last think I
might be getting somewhere. I cannot connect to any machine. The information
that you sent shows a router and how to configure it. I have had a look on my
router website for the settings but they are different to the routewr in your
information. I have a Netgear DG834G Wireless ADSL Firewall Router do you
know how I can configure it?

See this page for help. Ignore the UDP Port 3389 references. You only need
TCP Port 3389 forwarded.

Thank you for the information.
I have now been able to connect to the win xp pro computer and will try the
others tomorrow. I hope you could answer me this? In Windows Vista Business
is there any way that I could use the send console message as in win
2000/2003.

If you need to access more than one PC behind a firewall or router with

Thank you again for your information. I have not used Net Send yet. I want to
send a message to a computer on my network IE: send message via the remote
desktop management console.
