In "System Properties" select the Remote tab and tick the option "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer", under Remote Desktop.
Go to All programs, Accessories, Communications, select Remote Desktop Connection. Type the computer name or IP.

I am a little confused?

You have Server 2003 on your machine and you are wanting to connect to it from another machine?

Just use the RDP client on the other machine and go to either the server name or the IP address if you are connecting on the local network. If you are connecting externally you will need the site IP address and a rule put in the router for RDP.

This is of course if you are connecting as Administrator - if not you will need to configure an account with the appropriate permissions.

If you are using Server 2000 (as opposed to Server 2003) you have to install the Terminal Services (Remote Administration Mode) from the Add/Remove Windows Components of your Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, unless you already selected that during the installation of Windows 2000 Server.

To connect from a Windows 2000 client (Pro or Server) you may need to create a Floppy Disk set from the Windows 2000 Server you have Terminal Services installed on. Go to Administrative Tools and look for the Terminal Services Client Creator set or something similar. However, you can also download the latest RDP Client from MS (much better option):

If you are using XP and Server 2003 just do what RussS suggested.
