...ah thanks fryke. Yeah, I figured because those are public IP addresses they can't cross a router, but what confused me is how they (the parallel emulation 10.x) can talk to computers on my network (the 192.168.x) and not vicaversa. But then again how can I connect from every machine to...

Found out Parallel's uses 10.x.x.x IP addresses. Another reason why I can't remote log in because the rest of the network is 192.168.x.x. I think. But then how come I can remote from Parallels into my HP3 machine? I have to try and change the IPs to match and see if that fixes things. Ah...

Whoops sorry! Old XP user here, yes the Option and ALT keys are the same. You have to hold the Alt/Option key when you hear the "tadaaa" from Mac. Hold it till you see an arrowhead show up. If that doesn't work, maybe reboot with the mac DVD and go into repair mode?

Error message: This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Remote Desktop cannot find the remote computer. Type the computer name or IP address again, and then try connecting. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator. - I tried...

oh, yes, 'tom' is also a registered user on every machine from osx to xp. all logged in as tom too.

Ok here's the run down, just tried it on a 5 machine combination: - They all have XP Pro's loaded (legally also) - They all have 'tom' as registered login (admin is by default). - Native XP/2003 machines can log into each other no problem. Bootcamp/Parallel machines can't allow any inward...

thanks. but not sure of the reasoning. I did say it was Windows PRO in my post btw and this is happening on an imac bootcamp. So possibly a windows issue, then again only happening on the imac. What I will do is reboot into osx and run paralleles and see if I can log into that xp pro...

yes,I've added Tom as one of the people allowed to log in.

instead of option key, try the ALT key, middle one of the three. Not the one with the apple logo, or control key.

The latest being the one with Time Machine. 10.5? Just to clairfy, the imac is running in full XP reboot mode, not Parallels or vm type setting inside of osx.

Hi I was digging through the forums and came up with the same question in 2002...ha. Well, ok, let's update it. I have mac OSX 10.4 (I believe that is the latest) on an Intel chip, with bootcamp and XP Pro running in full mode not virtual. I canNOT remote desktop into my profile (tom) in XP...

Thanks! I printed out a keyboard shortcut, but somehow missed that one.

...well good news! Got the wife's imac osx going using an external USB drive and loaded osx tiger to it, which i am writing now from. Weird, can see the wife's imac hard drive from this drive, so maybe the drive isn't lunched, but corrupted. Copying files from there to the USB drive and...

Pssst... Go to ebay and purchase it. I bought two copies of Office 2004 both for under $200 - one student/teacher which can legally go on 3 machines and one Standard for my business machine. Seeing I'm a teacher and to really push it, I'm also a MS guy (student) trying to learn how to use...

Came up with an idea of using my USB 200BG backup drive to recover the original drive. Boot system up with CD in drive. Hold "C" key after the 'tada' sound till you see the spinning wheel comes on. That will enable you to boot up with the DVD drive. (Of course the system isn't set to boot...
