How are you entering your credentials? Don't forget the domain or machineName section of your username (and try both the old "DOMAIN\User" and new "User@domain" username formats)

Not much of a loss.

I'm currently using XP Home and I was disappointed to learn that only remote assistance is offered, not full blown remote desktop.

But I quickly stopped caring when I downloaded TightVNC. It works fantasic and the compression algrothmns are highly customizable.

Its a really good open source app IMHO.

try a ping from V1 to V2. If that doesn't resolve check Windows Firewall Settings. if it does try to get the c$ pipe ie:  \\[computername]\c$

if that continues to ask you for correct credentials check your authentication settings on V1 and V2 in your security poicies, specifically refering to LM/NTLM/NTMLv2. Make sure V1 and V2 have the same policies. If they do, set to send LM and NTLM and see if that works. Pathing to policy editor:

Control Panel->System Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policies->Security Policies->Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level Properties

If that doesn't work im out :/

Curious, I've used Remote Desktop Vista Ultimate to Vista Ultimate no problems at all. (Thank heavens for MSDN licenses.)

It defaults to the local machine as a domain, so I just had to enter username + password. Especially neat is the fact it saved those credentials so I've only had to do that once.

I remember there were various options about enabling remote desktop, but both used the recommended "secure" option, whichever that was.

I'm assuming your firewalls are all in order etc...
