Is there a way to get RDP to work the same in Vista as it did in XP?
After putting in the server name or IP address I then get a box with the
last user's name and password prompt and, a line below that titled "Use
another Account" (the window is titled "Windows Security"). Then... when I
put in the username/password I see the usual "Log on to Windows" screen. In
the username box is the IP address followed by a slash and the username.
And, it fails the logon every time. I have to wait until it fails, and then
remove the IP address from in front of the username and try it again. And
then it works. As usual, the Vista OS makes a joke of everything that
worked just fine before (I had to vent).

Is there a way to change this so I don't get the Windows Security screen
and, it doesn't precede the username with the IP address?

Thanks.

Great link!

Thanks

If you type your domain first just like this: domain\username

It will get rid of your IP address being the domain. You'll also be
able to save those credentials and not ever be prompted again.
