Computer 1

User: JDoe
Computer 2
Name: HTPC
User: MovieMan
When connection to computer 1 when prompted for username and password ensure you supply the "domain" (computer name) of the account.
So if connecting to Desktop from HTPC when prompted for credentials you would add:
Username: Desktop\JDoe
Password: xxxxxx
That will log you into the computer using the JDoe account from the local box.

Oh man I am so trying this tonight as I think this is exactly my problem. I am Vista/XP and damned if I can connect the two machines! Oh and Biff... the term is Netwrok Moron and I currently hold this title.
