[QUOTE="Sgt Beavis, post: 427112, member: 21840"] Yes, the Windows Remote Desktop for Mac DOES work to connect to WinXP. It is just a terminal services connection on port 3389. You need to enable remote desktop from the "my computer" properties and make sure you have the rights to use remote desktop. If it isn't working, try to telnet to port 3389 from your mac and see if you get connectivity. It could be that the Mac is blocking outbound traffic on 3389. Same goes for the Windows firewall.
