esentutl /g Drive:\WinDir\security\database\secedit.sdb

it says to enter this is cmd but im not sure what it means to put where it says "g Drive:" and "WinDir"

windows is installed on just the 1 C: drive

can you help?

thanks for the posts!

Note In this command, Drive is the hard disk drive where Windows XP Professional is installed, and WinDir is the folder where Windows XP Professional is installed

/g is a switch (an option passed to the essentutl command)

Replace "Drive:\WinDir" with wherever windows is installed (99% of the time thats "C:\WINDOWS" but it might be different if your install was an upgrade from windows 2000)

your firewall may be blocking it.

are you using the xp firewall or something else (mcaffee?)

[mtbleeds_danny]

i have a router which im guessing has a firewall and im using xp firewall. but i have opened both ports needed in the router and in xp firewall.

i can connect using the xp remote desktop connection program on another pc in my house, but not by using the web connection

thanks
