| | Cannot remote desktop, do both machines need to be on same domain? I'm attempting to RD to my Vista machine from XP machine, but the XP one is not on same domain. Therefore, I'm unable to "add user" from the Vista RD settings. There are both on the same network and can ping each other. Do both machines need to be on same domain? If so, then I'd rather revert to VNC or something similar where if I can ping the damned IP, I can login with user/pwd. frustrated in Denver. |

| | Re: Cannot remote desktop, do both machines need to be on same domain? they don't' need to be in the same domain, but you do need to enable remote desktop on the Vista machine. This will open the proper firewall ports (3389) needed to RDP. Right click on my computer select remote settings and enable remote desktop. Then ensure you are getting to the right box by testing access via the ip address first. hope this helps -- Thanks, Josh Phillips http://windowsconnected.com http://twitter.com/JoshPhillips "c" <barneytoe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:19410120-9b71-40f0-963d-3b3856ffeec2@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm attempting to RD to my Vista machine from XP machine, but the XP > one is not on same domain.

I'm surprised that as you are doing this commercially you don't use something like Teamviewer... http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx -- Asking a question?

Well not knowing a lot about VNC, with Teamviewer, nothing needs to be installed on the client machine...you just run an executable from the desktop... -- Asking a question?
