Answer 1

You can, but you have to have different accounts to log into. You cant log into the same account from two different places...

Answer 2

If I am understanding you correctly you have 2 computers with 2 identical usernames and passwords, If you go to each computer and login locally everything works like it should you then try to remote desktop from one pc to the other with the identical username it will be back at the ctrl+alt+delete screen? You aren't going to be able to do it like that follow the below selection or use something like vnc to accomplish what your looking to do.


Q. The local computer screen locks when a user is connected remotely. How can I get more than one connection to a computer running Windows XP Professional?
A. If you want to have more than one person simultaneously use a computer running Windows XP Professional, you could try Remote Assistance for collaboration and support scenarios. Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services allows multiple users, as will Windows Server 2003, when it becomes available.
