I'm trying to Remote desktop from Vista to Windows 7 to two machines on the same home workgroup.
On the Windows 7 box I have:
- enabled the 'remote assistance' check box under computer > properties > advanced > remote
- opened the firewall port
- started the remote desktop services
- rebooted
on the Vista client I have
- telneted to the IP address on 3389 and got no connection open – I tried repeating this and switching off the firewall on the server and got the same result
I still can't connect. (I can see the machine in my workgroup, and ping it on the command line, and explore it's file directory)
(I don't see it in my list of terminal servers when browsing in terminal services client)
What else should I try?

You need to enable Remote Desktop, not remote assistance. The option is on the same page as remote assistance.
