Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop is a single-session version of Terminal Services. By that I take it to mean that the real TS will allow more than one connection at a time, whereas Remote Desktop won't. I got that from Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows.

To use RD, you have to open port 3389 on your firewall. I learned the hard way that Windows XP Home will NOT act as a RD server. It can, however, be a client that remotely connects to another computer that is acting as a RD server.
