Ok, lthis is getting quite frustrating. I can only imagine what you must be thinking uTMY!

I can browse internet no problems via my wifi on my N900. Checked it anyway.

I created a new user with password of the desktop (Vista) that is plugged into the router.

I ran ipconfig and used the IP listed (which is the same one I have been using all along) in a new session on rdesktop. This was with the new user profile I created. I also ensured firewalls were turned off.

Rdesktop cannot connect. Arrrgghh!!

I searched "remote", and loaded the Windows Remote Access program, but it doesn't have an area to allow remote desktop; only seems focused on said desktop remotely accessing another computer.

I also made sure all port forwarding was disabled via the router. How do I find the Windows event log?

Ongoing thanks uTMY!
