Let's try this again...

You installed the Windows XP (or Windows 2003) Remote Desktop Client onto
the Windows 95 Laptop. This ONLY allows you to use the client you just
installed to remotely connect to a Windows
XP/2000/2003/2003R2/Vista/Longhorn machine from the Windows 95 laptop
using the client you just installed.

In other words - the Remote Desktop Client you installed is just that - a
CLIENT. It cannot and will not act as a host to allow you to remote into
the Windows 95 laptop. It is a one-way deal. The components needed to
act as the host are not included and cannot be installed onto the Windows
95 operating system.

You can, as suggested earlier in this thread, use other software to gain
remote access into the Windows 95 laptop. Being Windows 95 (Really Really
Old in terms of Operating Systems) I cannot say with certainty that any of
these methods will work, but...

- Netmeeting
- A flavor of VNC (TightVNC and UltraVNC come to mind.)
- Some other third party remote software (logmein.com, PCAnyWhere, etc...)

In other words - until you get some sort of HOST configured on the Windows
95 laptop - do not expect to be remotely controlling the Windows 95 laptop
from any other machine. You can install most clients onto the Windows 95
laptop and control other machines (hosts) with said clients, however.
There is no way to install the Windows XP Host part of the equation on any
other OS - Windows 95 included.
