Im trying to use windows xp to connect to my windows 7 machine but the windows 7 machine keeps telling me my password is wrong when it isnt.

Anyone with any ideas please?
 
yes ive checked older versions.....and im admin what this give account remote permissions?

From inside the network i can connect fine it just seems from any external connection it says the password is wrong:(
 
im connecting from work to home ........no firewall apart from the routers own which has never caused problems....

i login in with my ip and the windows 7 screen comes up with my username allready on there and then i clock on my name and enter password and nothing..........password or user name incorrect

Did you try XP-Win7 from within the network/Win7-Win7 from home?

Could also try just creating a new account specifically for remote access, but I don't see how that would help, it's just one of those things to try anyway..
