In the same network or via WAN?

If it's via WAN, you need to set router settings also.

if you have done that on every pc you want to remote desktop into then you're set to go. just enter the pc's ip adress or network name and you'll remote into it.

I can't connect to the other computers though

open control panel and go to this

 

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

I'll try this later on and see if it works
