I just purchased a new laptop and it came with Vista Home Premium. One
of the things I need to do is connect to my XP Pro machine I have at
home. I have always been able to connect to my XP Pro machine from
anywhere with no problem. I have had this setup for years and access
my home computer all the time from work or from friends houses via IP
Address. I actually use a dynamic IP address domain service which
gives me an easy to remember domain name in case my dynamic IP
changes. ANYWAY, this works and always has worked. But now I am trying
to access it via my new Vista laptop using the same method I always
use and it wont connect via the IP address or domain name. When I am
connected wirelessly to my home network, I can get in via RDP using my
XP Pro computers name but NOT via IP.
