Hi all,

I have a small LAN and I'm trying to connect via RDP from an XP Pro box to another XP Pro box.

I've tried connecting using the computer name, the IP Address of the computer and using all different kinds of credentials which i'm 100% are correct.

I get the error though "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Remote Desktop cannot find the remote computer. Type the computer name or IP address again, and try connecting. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator"

Can anyone help please?
 
Hi,

Are you able to ping the computer your trying to connect to?

Has Remote Desktop been enabled and firewall setup for the computer your trying to connect to?
