remote desktop network failed connection

0

I was trying to create a remote desktop connection from Windows XP to my Windows Vista Ultimate Addition machine at home. This normally works fine. Today after my connection was dropped, I tried to reconnect to my machine. It brings me to the normal startup screen, but when I tried to log in, it gave me the message "This network connection doesn't exist". This doesn't make much sense, as I have reached a Windows style login screen already.

My connection returned later that day, but I'm curious as to what happened. Anyone see this before?

The only time I saw something like this was when my network dropped, either due to wireless dropping or me kicking a cable out accidentally.

I wasn't using wireless, though it could still be a network drop I guess. But being able to reach a login screen seems to me the connection should be active – tbischel – 2010-03-24T21:05:04.940
