Cannot mstsc to Vista unless it is unlocked

Hi, I can't mstsc Vista machine remotely (from XP machine) unless the
vista machine is
'log In' (means not locked). Though I can mstsc using IP address.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like name resolution issue. Can you ping the Vista by name before
logon?
