I am trying to connect to another computer on my small network using remote
desktop under Win XP Pro SP-2. I have been able to connect as a guest, but
when I try to connect with my user name I am told I can't connect because of
an account restriction. I am assuming the permissions for the account are
set wrong, but I am not exactly sure how.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Make sure your user account has permission to use Remote Desktop. At the Run
command type sysdm.cpl, select Remote and add yourself to the Remote Desktop
users.

Hope it helps,
BM
 
Thanks for the help. Here's something I did not know--You MUST have a
password for the computer to be accessible remotely. I added a password to
my server account and voila, there it was.
