    Remote Desktop - Vista?

    I am trying to connect to a Vista box on my network with Remote desktop - I've tried several things and now I am stumped.

    It's enabled to work - and allow connections to it - it's in the same subnet and on the same switch... help?

    The main account has no password - due to it being a media centre - I even made a remote account with a password (marked as administrator) and enabled to login - and that won't work either It won't even connect properly

    Is it set to allow any version of RDP to connect to it and are you trying this from your Mac or XP client?

    Tried XP and Mac

    Right I had to have a password set on my other user account so did that and it works now

    So - on my XP machine it works but not my Mac using CORD - so I am just downloading the Microsoft version..
