Hi Curtis,

Vista Home Premium can act as a client, but not as a host. In short, you
cannot access a Vista HP machine remotely with RD, but you can use it to
access a machine running a version of Vista that does support being a host.
If the machine you want to access remotely is running Vista HP, then you
would need to examine a third-party VPN solution.
