Guest JohnB Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Is there a way to get RDP to work the same in Vista as it did in XP? After putting in the server name or IP address I then get a box with the last user's name and password prompt and, a line below that titled "Use another Account" (the window is titled "Windows Security"). Then... when I put in the username/password I see the usual "Log on to Windows" screen. In the username box is the IP address followed by a slash and the username. And, it fails the logon every time. I have to wait until it fails, and then remove the IP address from in front of the username and try it again. And then it works. As usual, the Vista OS makes a joke of everything that worked just fine before (I had to vent). Is there a way to change this so I don't get the Windows Security screen and, it doesn't precede the username with the IP address? Thanks.
