With Windows 7 you have to enable Network Discovery before RDP will work, it is off by default. It is found in the Network and Sharing Center under Advanced sharing settings. HTH, TVK

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. :) 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?
