  Inbound remote desktop connections aren't supported on Windows RT. You can connect FROM your surface to other compatible machines, but you can't connect to it using RDP.

  If you check out http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/remote-desktop-connection-faq#1TC=windows-8 you'll see that the only versions of Windows 8 that allow you to connect to them are Pro and Enterprise, not RT. That is also confirmed in this thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_rt-networking/can-i-use-windows-rt-to-connect-to-remote-desktop/4ceed9b8-973f-43e4-9021-c6784deb1e69
