Default Re: Can you use remote desktop with Home edition?

I have windows xp pro on the computer home but if I try to connect from an
other computer even on my workgroup with remete access I get the following
error
remote connextions might not be enabeled or computer might be too busy ....
A far as I know I have enabeled my computer at home for incoming con.
ticking the box 'allow others to make private connection...' in the incoming
connections properties box. I also got a static IP adress from my ISP

Anybody can give me any help on this?
Thanx
