Hi,
Which operating system version do you use? Remote Desktop is only available in the Win 8.1 Pro edition. See this comparison:

Have you enabled Remote Desktop Connection?

What is the error message when you try to remote to the Windows 8.1?

Well I will be darn. Yes that must be it. My machine had windows 7 and it worked great. So I upgrade to Windows 8.1 and they take the option away unless I want to pay an additional $100 to get the Pro. Great way to treat your loyal customers Windows.
