I am trying to establish an RDP connection from my Windows 7 Pro x64 computer to another that is running Windows XP Pro SP3. I can establish the RDP connection successfully if the XP computer has already been logged on locally, but I want to establish the RDP without having to do the local logon first.
The Windows 7 PC is connected to a Linksys WRT400N router via cable. The XP PC is connected via wireless using a Linksys WMP600N PCI card. Both are on the same workgroup.
if youre using RDC, what error do you get (if any)? can you describe exactly what you do and exactly what occurs that leads you to the conclusion that you can't establish a connection without first having logged on locally?

Other Info
A+/N+/Security+ Certified. I break a lot of computer equipment because i get FURIOUSLY ANGRY! The next time some moron gloats about his SSD, ask him if it's SLC or MLC. Not only will he not know, it WILL be MLC because that kid at BestBuy took him to the CLEANERS!! If you don't know the response time on your primary monitor, you got owned. If you do and it's 5ms, you owned yourself.
Sorry for the delay; I ended up swapping OS hard drives and doing a reload. Since then, I can connect to the XP PC by ip address, so the issue is now solved.
