Hi Guys! Im having troubles connecting to my desktop running XP from my m3100 running Black 2.0 over wifi. I have done all i need to on my XP machine (forwarded ports, turned on Remote Desktop, allowed it through firewall). My M3100 connects, i see my desktop log on screen on the PDA screen, when i enter my user name it states "unable to logon because of an account restriction"?? In the desktop RD sewttings it says as default i, as admin, have access??? Sorry if there is a thread already covering this!! Keep up the good work JJ!!!!!! :) :rolleyes: :D

w00t - first post and I'm actually helping someone (hopefully!).

The problem is documented in this Microsoft knowledge base article - you can't RDP (Remote Desktop) to a machine with a blank password, which is what it sounds like you have. Link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303846/en-us

HTH!!

Mark.
