Remote Desktop Connection

[brad.mugleston at comcast.net]

I'm top posting because I have a break through - of sorts.

by puting in the IP address then :3389 I am at least getting the 
command that this server isn't accepting any more connections.  
>From what I've read and been told only one person at a time can 
be connected or logged on so it looks like I'm getting in from 
HOME to Work.  Now to get the machine all to myself (this right 
here is a great reason to NOT use this program - we need to 
share).

Thanks everyone I'll mess more with the SLP and see if I can get 
that working.
