Hi there
I have Remote desktop set up on Vista Ultimate 64. Port forwarding is
set up correctly. When I connect (from an XP machine outside the LAN) I
get the infamous 'incorrect user name or password' error even though the
password is correct. I have tried the DOMAIN\Username fix without
success.
However, I can connect without issue to another admin user I set up to
test things.
So my initial admin account which everything is set up with fails, but
a secondary admin user account works without issue. But of course I have
no interest in connecting to the PC under this secondary account.
I've got to assume that there is some security setting somewhere in
Vista that is preventing outside access to my main account, but for the
life of me I can't find it!!

Thank you rive0108
I had another look around and I don't know if this is general knowledge
and I'm an idiot, but it doesn't make much sense.
While my main user account had the name xxxx (which had been changed
from what it was set up with when I received the PC), as soon as I tried
the original account name, and current password it logged on straight
away, showing me logged in as the new name. Even though the original
name I can't see anywhere anymore...
This must be an issue that other people have come across -and certainly
isn't something you'd think of as you're tearing your hair out trying to
work out why your connection isn't working!
Anyway, all's good now that I log on with the original account name. I
don't care if it's odd -as long as it works!
