I was able to setup xrdp on my Fedora 13 machine and access it from my Windows 7 machine by follow the steps on the first post on this thread: http://www.linux.org/threads/rdp-into-your-linux-desktop.8/

It was simple and easy.

But when i try the same on my Fefora 20 machine, things are quite different. There is no error message but some new info like these:

-----

# chkconfig --levels 35 xrdp on

Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable xrdp.service'.

# service xrdp start

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start xrdp.service

--------

and then I cannot remote it from my window machine.

I also did the following based on the last post of above thread:

# yum -y install tigervnc-server

I also did set up recommended by this blog: http://networkstatic.net/xrdp-an-easy-remote-desktop-setup-for-your-ubuntu-servers/

which are the following:

yum install xrdp

systemctl enable xrdp.service

systemctl start xrdp.service

systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service

systemctl start xrdp-sesman.service

But I still cannot remote to it:

I was able to ping each other.

I can access the shared folder on my Windows machine from my Fedora 20. It seems the problem is on the Fedora side. how to know the service on linux is running? The "service --status-all" cannot give me useful information.

Any configuration I should do to make xrdp works for me?

I don't use rdp, but in your message you don't mention having opened the tcp/udp ports used by rdp.  In the most recent versions of Fedora the firewall enabled and started by default and the majority of ports are blocked.
