Remote Desktop Connection

I'm trying to acces my Vista x64 Home Premium machine at home through my XP Professional PC at work through Remote Desktop Connection.

I've tried setting up the connection from my home PC through: Control Panel -> System -> Remote.... But the only option I have is one check box for "remote assistance".

I use Cisco VPN to access my work PC from home, but I'd like to do the opposite from work.

Thanks

Hello,

Vista Home Premium doesn't act as a remote desktop host, which means that you can't connect to it from any other computer using the built-in utility. Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate allow "incoming" remote-desktop access though.

Sean - Hope I helped.
