I am trying to use Remote Desktop from a remote to host. Both computers are
running XP Pro.

When I click on Network Connections. I have under Internet Gateway and icon
labeled Internet Connection

Under Lan or High-Speed Internet I have 2 connections:
a) 1394 Connection
b) Local Area Connection Connected.

Setting this computer as a host. I cannot connect from a remote computer.

Last night however it connected and I was able to log in. I disconnected and
retried. Nothing doing. It does not get to 1st base.

I think I would like to remove (uninstall) all my networkl connections and
retry. The "delete" key is grey out.

Any suggestions?

Please repost your question to a more appropriate newsgroup - this one is
for problems with networking in Windows Millennium Edition.

The Internet Gateway is a device on your network that provides
Internet access to your computers -- usually a home broadband router
or an ICS host. Clicking the Internet Gateway icon lets you monitor
and control the gateway device.

The 1394 connection is an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port on your computer.
If you don't use FireWire networking, ignore the connection.

As you've discovered, it isn't possible to delete a network connection
directly. The only way to delete a connection is to go to Device
Manager and remove the network adapter that the connection uses. When
Windows XP re-installs the network adapter, it will create a new
network connection.
