I have used Remote Desktop for a long time now and I have
always been able to figure out problems but this one has
me baffeled. I can remote destop into a computer over
the network and up until this weekend I could remote
desktop into it over the internet. What happens now is
that I make the connection and I enter my username and
password and it gives me the following error "The system
could not log you in. Make sure the Username and domain
are correct and type the password again." So whats going
on here?? The password is good
 
Other than triplechecking your username and password, what happens
when you log on locally? Perhaps your password expired?

When loggin on locally it goes right in and gives no
problems but over the net I can connect it just wont take
my password - it wierd! I even tried changing the pw and
still gives same problem.

Thanks
 
Any chance there's some other piece of the credentials which is
wrong/changed?

Domain?
 
Perhaps the remote keyboard is broken? You may laugh, but a
coworker's keyboard had a problem producing a certain symbol that was
included in a password on a remote system...

Yep... I have had that happen to me... It was a bigger problem in
Virtual PC, which somehow always turns on my numlock... :(

I can log in VIA RDC on other machines that have funky
paswords and I have no problems. Its just this one
system. It was working just fine and now it will not
take my password over the internet - it works fine on the
LAN side. I can RDC right into on the from another
system on the network. I have changed my password and
still have the same problem. Any other suggestions???

TIA
Bruce
