    Hi

    I recently bought a PC running Vista Home Premium to use as a VE3 slave. I downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for the Mac and when I attempted to connect it failed. A pop-up suggested that the PC wasn't set up to receive properly. I investigated and found that Premium doesn't have Remote Desktop.

    I checked on the web and and downloaded what appeared to be a solution- termsrv.dll. I installed it on the PC and it got placed in the registry. The PC can now see my Mac, it's next to the PC in the Network window.

    I double-click the Mac's icon and Connect to My Mac appears requesting a user name and password. I tried the PC's and the Mac's but get the same message that Windows can't connect - your name or pass may be incorrect. Help!

    As the Mac appears in the Network window, can I assume that I've entered the IP addresses and subnet correctly on both computers?

    Mac- 192.168.1.1   PC-  192.168.1.2.           255.255.255.0

    I am new to Windows. Has anyone got any ideas as to how I should progress?

     ahead a warning: there is a termsrv.dll carrying the dragonit trojan ... best double check with a free antivirus software like antivir personal ....

    your problem might be related to the firewall - RD needs port 3389 to be open, also a registry entry might be missing allowing the remote loginor a certain user (make sure the user has administrative permissions)

     

    all home versions don't come with remote desktop ...

    hth, christian

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Thanks for the warning Christian. Downloaded Antivir and the PC is clean thankfully.

     I'll try your suggestions out and hopefully get it up and running soon.
