RD server settings made no difference.
i immediately get the "this computer cant connect".

i also tried removing all the lenovo utilities incase there was a conflict. shot in the dark.
if i disable RDP on the remote(karima-desktop), client timesout with a different error, as expected.

remote is windows pro. i got pro so i could remote in.
client does support NLA network level authentication

one last thing i will try is to reboot our sbs2011 server as another shot in the dark. but what the heck, its microsoft. i cant do that till friday afternoon because its the main computer and drive for AC and i usually leave before doc to pick up kids.

it could be the client i am trying to connect from, but I can connect to our sbs2011 ess server no problem, and also an old xp-pro machine.

thanks for all the support.
