How to connect to XP Home PC from XP Pro using Remote Desktop

I want to connect to my XP Home PC on the same LAN workgroup (MSHOME) with my XP Pro machine - but I always get the following error

Remote Desktop Disconnected This computer can't connect to the remote computer.

Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator.

How do I solve this?

Solution 1:

Windows XP Home does NOT support inbound Remote Desktop. Use VNC.

Solution 2:

use Teamviewer, by far best quality of any remote desktop software i have yet come accross. Teamviewer is free for personal use and can be configured to be used locally (LAN).
