But when I try to RDP in, it says "this computer can't connect to the remote computer..." and I have myself in the "remote desktop" group on the local machine up there, but I can't even get that far. Sorry for the lack of details earlier. As I said in another post, I'm pretty sure I disabled the built-in Windows firewall... and I did NOT install another firewall. From: Steven M.

IP connectivity? As good as this list is at technical suggestions, mindless banter, and apparently some Facebook games, we suck at mind reading. -sc From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 10:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 questions Tried Remote Desktop.

It is on the WAN, and is part of the domain. I've tried VNC, but can't get it to run the server portion. The VNC folks say that the viewer will run on Windows 7, but not the server, at least not the free version. J 2) I would like to have it auto-log on (it's a workstation in a "lab" area where the users are not highly computer literate) at boot up. I know how to do that using TweakUI on XP. I don't know how to do that on Vista or Windows 7. Will TweakUI work on that O/S? No virus found in this incoming message.
