Hi,
Both laptop and desktop are connected to same wifi router. desktop is connected through wire and laptop is on wifi. Both Pcs are running windows 7 and can ping each other and are in same workgroup.
When I try to RDC my desktop on my laptop, it connects to the desktop and shows the windows credentials screen. An admin user (J) with same password exists on both PCs. But it gives an error "the user name or password is incorrect"
However when I RDC the laptop FROM desktop using the above steps..it works perfectly wel!
The same credentials issue comes with Shared folders.
What am I doing wrong?
