Hi,

You will have to use the username as 192.168.2.2\Administrator and then the password. "Administrator" indicates the username that have Admin priviledge on the desktop.

Sorry for the Delay..got caught in a project.
Anyways, i would have loved to get a network monitor capture that will show me the traffic when you are trying to access the desktop which would have given us a little indication as to what is causing it.

However at this point of time try the following:

Create an account on both the laptop and desktop with the same name and password . Assign the account as a Administrator and then try to access the desktop from the laptop. Use the credentials that you have created when it asks for username and password.
