Vista remote desktop

I am using Vista Enterprise edition. I found that I cannot remote
desktop to the Vista machine. Is there any configuration I should
perform before Vista accept Remote desktop connection?

Did you enable Remote Desktop on the Vista Remote Desktop host PC?

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...8ee721033.mspx

Make sure the Windows Firewall is configured to allow Remote Desktop
access...

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...fb6441033.mspx

Any firewall or router the Vista Remote Desktop host PC is behind must have
TCP Port 3389 forwarded/opened...

If your connecting to the Vista Remote Desktop host PC from an XP or earlier
Windows OS client make sure the Vista Remote Desktop host PC is configured
like this...

....and the XP or earlier Windows OS clients are configured like this...

If your trying to connect Vista-2-Vista (ie. Vista RDP client to a Vista RDP
host PC) and using Network Level Authentication see this page...
