    I have three xp pro computers in my peer to peer network. All can exchange files so I thought I would enable Remote Desktop so I could fully access basement computers from upstairs. I enabled remote desktop on all. I can only access one. I can access that one from the other two computers, but the other two computers won't respond to their name or when I browse, the message comes up that my workgroup domain does not contain any terminal servers. I have checked to see that terminal services are running on all computers. Any thoughts about why two of the computers seem to be shy? Sharing is enabled on all and I have been sharing files all along.

    Thanks for your help

    Did you try to access them by using their IP address?

    I didn't try the ip address because it is not a fixed address. But since one computer can be seen, I thought it didn't need it.
