When I open my system properties tab in Xp, I don't get an option "Allow
users to connect remotely to this computer" As I try to establish a
connection to that computer, I get a message saying "Remote connection might
not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections".
They're both XP home editions and one computer shows the option and the other
doesn't. The one that shows the option, I'm able to connect to, but not the
other way around. Please let me know what's going on?

On the computer you can connect to go to Start -> Run and enter winver in the
Open box. Click OK. You may find that the computer has XP Pro or Media Center
Edition installed. That would account for it having the Remote Desktop feature
in System Properties.

A computer running XP Home Edition cannot act as a host to a Remote Desktop
session. An option is to install a third party program such as TeamViewer or one
of the many VNC programs.

Good luck
