The session negotiation failed on Windows

[modio]

I’m a newbie, trying to get NoMachine working for the first time, and have installed “nomachine_5.1.7_8.exe” on both local & remote machines.

Local: W7 Starter SP1. Tying to connect via Guest account on Remote: XP Pro SP3.

Guest account is working OK (e.g. using “net use ….”), and firewalls are disabled on both machines.I initiate a connection from Local with Username: Guest & Password.

A “Deny/View only/Accept” message pops up on Remote. I click “Accept”.

I get the message “Ooops! The session negotiation failed” on Local.

Help! I’m completely lost.

Fixed it myself in the end. The issue was that I’d only ever done a remote log-on to the Guest account, and that as a consequence XP hadn’t created a SID for that account. Logging on locally to Guest easily fixed the issue, and after that I got straight through on NoMachine.
