>>>>>I'm running out of options. All I want to do is have control of my desktop PC from my laptop via my network. I keep getting "account restrictions" even though I've done everything I think I was supposed to using MMC. This seems like such a pain, but maybe that's the point; anyone bad trying to get in simply gives up. Is that the newest Windows security level? Any help appreciated... Thanks!

naaaa...just uses one port (5900 by default) on windows and the security isn't bad.
