Thanks for your feedback. I have two laptops running Windows 7 Home Premium. I do some simple administration of a remote R2 server for a friend and suddenly, Remote Desktop will not connect to the server on one of the laptops. I checked all necessary settings, obviously, and the problem is NLA. I am getting the error: The remote computer you are trying to connect to requires NLA Network Level Authentication which your computer does not support.
I thought this was strange as I never set the server to require NLA. I know I should but anyway I have verified that the server is in fact not set to require NLA so this should not be stopping the connection.
Now, both laptops have RDC version 6. He has over two years of experience writing and editing technology-related articles. He is technology enthusiast and an English teacher. The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and verified that they work.

In order to use Remote Desktop, you'll have to enable it on the target computer and find the target computer's IP address, after which point you can connect to the target computer from a separate computer.

If you only want to access your PC when you are physically using it, you don't need to enable Remote Desktop. Enabling Remote Desktop opens a port on your PC that is visible to your local network. You should only enable Remote Desktop in trusted networks, such as your home.
You also don't want to enable Remote Desktop on any PC where access is tightly controlled. Be aware that when you enable access to Remote Desktop, you are granting anyone in the Administrators group, as well as any additional users you select, the ability to remotely access their accounts on the computer.
You should ensure that every account that has access to your PC is configured with a strong password. When you enable this option, users have to authenticate themselves to the network before they can connect to your PC.
Allowing connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA is a more secure authentication method that can help protect your computer from malicious users and software. If you're remotely connecting to a PC on your home network from outside of that network, don't select this option.
