Can you clarify some things please. 'The one with the router' doesn't make sense
- a router routes messages to all machines on the network, it doesn't belong to one
machine. so if the set up is different..
All machines are running XP Pro? (you can't remote desktop to XP Home or 2k or ME
or 9x, though you can remote desktop FROM them to XP Pro, with the right software
installed).
all machines are visible on the network? (eg, you can ping any machine from any other)
(you have I presume ticked the 'allow users to remotely connect to this computer'
box on the remote tab of system properties on all machines?)
