remote desktop connection domain

Hi,
I have Vista Beta 2 running on a client. The client is connected to a domain. I can ping and run tracert to the client and the DNS resloves the computer name, but I cannot connect using Remote desktop. It also turns out that I tried sharing some files, and cannot connect to the compter using \\*client name*.domain. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem, however I must leave work for the day. I'll try again tomorrow and see if I come up with anything. I will let you know.

I managed to connect. I was trying to use the IP address but that didn't work, which is a shame because I regularly use IP addresses to connect to computers on the internet. Having to type in the whole FQDN is going to be a pain.
But using the full computer name as it appears in System Properties did work. The computer I'm connecting from is part of a domain, and I was able to connect to both another computer on the domain (on the same network of course) and a computer on another network which is not part of a domain.
