The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your computer does not support.

The "The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your computer does not support." error is what you get when you try to connect to computer running Windows Vista with using recently updated Remote Desktop Client.

It looks like Windows XP doesn't support Network Level Authentication even with the new Remote Desktop Client so you will have to turn NLA off in Vista.

Got to System Properties and select "Allow connections from computer running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure). It's less secure, but it works.

Finally a solution that works for remoting an XP machine into Vista. I experienced the same VNC frustration as everyone else. I was successful after I followed your instruction. Good graphic and good job!

Apparently XP will have NLA added as part of service pack 3 (End April 08).. Lets just wait and see...

Mine, too, is "grayed out" and i can't seem to locate a group policy anywhere that enforces that setting. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (I AM the network admin)

To enable NLA in XP machines; first install XP SP3, then edit the registry settings on the XP client machine to allow NLA

• Configure Network Level Authentication

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
2. In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. In the details pane, right-click Security Packages, and then click Modify.
4. In the Value data box, type tspkg. Leave any data that is specific to other SSPs, and then click OK.
5. In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders
6. In the details pane, right-click SecurityProviders, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type credssp.dll. Leave any data that is specific to other SSPs, and then click OK.
8. Exit Registry Editor.
9. Restart the computer.

Now when you run remote desktop you will notice that Network Level Authentication is supported. To check this, right-click the top left hand corner of a remote desktop session and choose, Help > About

Thanks for the solution.
I followed the instruction, and it works for me for a while. However, today I got "An authentication error has occurred. The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted Remote computer: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Any idea.
