Got a Airport extreme and a macbook. Got a PC that is connected to the wired ports. I am trying to remotely connect to my window sPC from my macbook. I have RDC for OSX and i put in the computers IP address and I cant connect to my PC.

I have XP pro updated fully. An account with a password. RD setup in windows.

Any ideas?
 
Instead of Remote Desktop, I recommend going with VNC. Much more configurable, clients of every flavor OS (including a Java client that can be accessed from any host with a web browser), and it doesn't do stuff to your Windows system like adjust resolution (and subsequently screwing up all my icon placement) or lock the screen on the local system when you log in.

RealVNC.org is a nice place to start.

As for RD, do you have any software firewalls running on that host and have you enabled RD connections?
