Remote Desktop Connection Setup Issues

I have a computer that I would like to use to control three remote computers. I have followed the steps to setup the settings between the central command computer and the remote computers but I still can not even get beyond starting up the single connection.

All computers are on the same router (Central Command Computer is connected wirelessly)
I have set the logged-in user of each computer to be member of Remote Connection user
All computers are running Windows XP Pro

I open the Remote Desktop Connection in Communications group of Accessories and there's a drop down menu of "Browse for more" message. Inside, I see my workgroup called WORKGROUP in which all the computers are part of but when I double click on it to list the computers, it says "The WORKGROUP domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers."

How do I go about setting up a terminal server on each of the remote computers? Should I just abandon Microsoft's approach and use that TightVNC software which would probably be simplier? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 
On the remote computers did you enable Remote Desktop? Right click My Computer and click properties, then click the Remote tab. There you can enable and choose the users.
 
Yes, I enabled them on all my machines. In the list of users, I can only select the users of which I have profiles for on the computer I am setting up. How do I add remote users?
