what rom are you on? And are you cdma diamond?

Yeah, I am on stock Sprint rom (obviously CDMA). I was running Juicy's 2.2 for Sprint since last night and it locked up on me bad two or three times, so I flashed back to stock Sprint.

If you can hold out, I can bring my laptop to work tomorrow and check it in the morning, I have XP Media Center Edition on that.

thats the exact same one i'm using... hmmm.. ok something isn't right here... i'm sooo mad cuz this should be real simple! I connect my phone via usb and put my actual computer name in and user name and password and it WORKS! but when i disconnect and change the computer name to my "real" ip address, it won't connect... what if i have a wifi router that is security enabled? Is that an issue? Cuz i've done EVERYTHING in the settings here!

things to check

port fowarded correctly (port 3389 to internal computer IP)
windows firewall disabled or exception for RDP (under settings -> windows firewall)
RDP enabled (settings -> system -> remote) for all clients
user is administrator is user is enabled (in the RDP area)

on the phone
comp name: external IP
username: username on the desktop
password: password to that account on the desktop
active internet connection

Thanks for saving me the time to explain all that. You did a very nice and thorough job.

these are all things i've done and checked over and over again... but hey... i'ma give it one more shot

so having a wifi router that is password protected doesn't effect this in anyway?

The password protected wifi router has nothing to do with it. As long as you can connect via wireless and confirm your wireless connection by browsing the Internet, then you are connected to the network.

I can about 99% guarantee you that the issue is a setup problem on your PC.

It normally is

My ranking of likeliness of issues:
1. Windows not configured properly
2. Router not forwarded
3. Firewall [router or software] blocking
4. ISP

Also, if you are connecting in-network, make sure you have your internal IP set to static. To do so, use:

Start>Control Panel>Network Connections>Right click on your connection>Properties>Double Click TCP/IP from the list>Set Manually

[These settings can differ between routers, the following configuration is mine]
IP Address: 192.168.1.105
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
Alt DNS: 4.2.2.1
