Hello & thank you for your time.

I have a home network with one desktop with XP Pro, and two Vista Home
laptops. I can see every computer on the network, and I can log into vista
laptops, but when I try to log in into XPdesktop from Vista laptops, it tells
me that my user name or password are incorrect. I can log from XPdesktop to
my laptops, but the laptops can't log into my XPdesktop

On windows xp welcome login screen, my user id is Owner, and password is
123. I even tried to create a new user (admin) account on XPdesktop with
user name jjj and password jjj, but when I try to login from laptops, I still
get an error message telling me the user name or password is incorrect.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you,
Martin

use VNC it is a free program. My understanding was that vista did not allow
you to rdp into xp, I had this problemover the summer so I put vnc on my xp
computer and it worked.

You can RDP into XP from Vista but, off the top of my head, you need t
update the RDP client on the XP machine first
