  I have Windows XPSP3 installed why can’t I use remote access to log into my Windows Home Server?

  You cannot connect to a remote computer or start a remote application when you use Terminal Services Web Access or Remote Web Workspace on a Windows XP SP3-based or Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1-based computer
