I am trying to remote desktop from my Powerbook to my PC running XP. I have enabled RD exceptions on my PC but still can't RD to my PC from my Powerbook? I also can't VPN to my PC from my Powerbook. Do I need to set up a server on my PC? What else might be the problem?
Thanks
 
Can you try turning the firewall off completely? That would let us know if it's firewall-related or not.

Also, how is your network set up? Routers? DHCP? Have you tried connecting to the PC via IP address?
 
What version of RDP do you use on your Mac?
Do you connect with the shortname, fqdn or IP? Can you telnet to or get a valid ping from port 3389 on the PC?
 
Also, and I know it's simple, but did you turn on "Allow remote access" and set yourself up as a user (users must have an account password set in order to RDC) in the "Remote" tab of the properties for your computer?
