I am able to use the MSTSC from Vista pc and remote into a XP-SP2 machine at home but I cannot connect remotely from my xp to Vista home premium pc :( .

Any ideas?

Perhaps a setting in windows firewall on the Vista pc needs to be configured?

I don't have zonealarm on the Vista pc just using the built in Windows firewall on Vista. I tried connecting using the pc name and also tried with the ip address name but to no avail.

I know I will be flamed, but I prefer to use Ultra VNC instead of the built in remote connection utility.
