hi mjumrani.. first of all, if you are windows 7 , then theres permissions and security stuff that need to be configured.. if you are using windows xp, then everything should work normally provided that your computer is set to allow remote connections from other pcs.
if you are using windows xp then
you will get this option from Control Panel >>> System >>> Remote tab on the top.. then check the allow remote connections option.\
then this is the full syntax for the command.
go to start>>>run then type
mstsc -v ipaddress or computer name.. for eg. mstsc -v 192.168.1.2 or mstsc -v puneet --------------->>>where puneet is the computer name.. if this doesnt work then lemme know..
Im on Windows Seven. Mstsc is asking for a password which neither PC has
You need a password for the account through which you're gonna login into the remote PC. its one of the shittiest features in windows ever since XP-SP2. Just use a single character password, it works too

true. but i dont think this will still work on windows 7. i'd say this would work for windows xp but not for windows 7.. windows 7 is quite a bugger in these matters.. especially windows home basic edition.. atleast my ultimate edition allows access to a lot more tweak options than the basic edition..
