remote desktop??

how do i connect to a remote desktop.

I have 2 computers on a local area network using a switch. ( I can network between these computers fine)

I have enabled the 'allow users to connect remotley' in system properties on both machines.
I set permissions for 1 user

I used the 'remote connection tool' to login. I enterd the
computer name,
user name (which i set permissions for),
password,
and domain is blank.

i get this error:
------------------------------------------------------------
Client could not connect to the remote computer.

Remote connections migh not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections.

please try again later
------------------------------------------------------------

 

also,

both computers are using WinXP and have client software installed.

and I have enabled the 'remote desktop' port on both firewalls.

note: i can get remote assistant to work fine

 

nevermind, i solved problem


i used computer names instead of ip addresses
