Remote Desktop Connection on Domain

Hi,

I have Vista Beta 2 running on a client. The client is connected to a
domain. I can ping and run tracert to the client and the DNS resloves the
computer name, but I cannot connect using Remote desktop. It also turns out
that I tried sharing some files, and cannot connect to the compter using
\\*client name*.domain. Any suggestions?
 
I'm having the same problem, however I must leave work for the day. I'll try
again tomorrow and see if I come up with anything. I will let you know.
 
I managed to connect. I was trying to use the IP address but that didn't
work, which is a shame because I regularly use IP addresses to connect to
computers on the internet. Having to type in the whole FQDN is going to be a
pain.

But using the full computer name as it appears in System Properties did
work. The computer I'm connecting from is part of a domain, and I was able
to connect to both another computer on the domain (on the same network of
course) and a computer on another network which is not part of a domain.
