Cannot connect via RDP

Spider · 9 Apr 2009 at 17:33

I've got two Windows7 machines on a homegroup. I've enabled remote connections on the target machine, and even gone as far as creating an additional administor account called 'remoteadmin' to connect with.
However, when I connect to this machine, I always get the error "Your credentials did not work".
Under the remote desktop settings, i've checked "allow remote connections from computers running any version of remote desktop", and a couple of days ago I did actually manage to connect. But now, it simple cannot remote onto the machine.

I've tried with accounts on both machines, using passwords I know are correct, but it simply will not work.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Is the "remoteadmin" allowed to RDP?

The user is an administrator, which by default are allowed. The option isn't even there to allow the user, as it already has permission...

I'm confused!

Screenshot? Users you have created are local admins to the device you're trying to RDC to?

The user account(s) you are trying to login as have passwords I assume? You can also log in locally with those accounts using those passwords without issue? The fact that you can actually connect but it returns a credentials issue makes me think its the account in question, some aspect of it anyway.
