Remote Desktiop requires Windows 7 Professional or above. Premium will not work.

The easiest way for me to get wireless PB access on Win 7 was to map the playbook IP as a network location. Type PB IP into the address bar, select the media folder and under the tools menu select map network drive. PB IP can be found under the options (gear at the top right corner of the playbook) , About, then select network from the dropdown menu. IPV 4 address.

Your question is so vague you got two completely different answers. Care to elaborate what exactly are you trying to do? Access files? Share internet? Remote manipulation?

ive done the ip thing and i get to the screen with the certs and media file but if i try to open it i get a error .

What does the error message say? Did you set a password on the Playbook when you set up sharing? Are you attempting to connect as guest? If you set a password and didn't change the default username try connecting with the default username which is 'playbook' and the password you set on the PB.

I am sure you did this. Sure PB file share is turned on? Tap the gear(top right) storage sharing and check file sharing setting.

i get 2 errors 1 is the local device name is already in use the connection can not be restored

2 windows cannot connect to playbook check spelling of name otherwise check connection

yes file share is set on the playbook and no i have no pass word

Win7 has a network diagnostic tool that helped me when I lost my network connection to the PB and other networked computers. I will look when I get home an give you a step by step if someone hasn't solved your problem before than.

Win7: Open network sharing center (Control Panel, network and internet, Network and sharing center) at the bottom Troubleshoot Problems. Click on HomeGroup. Click next. The computer will start detecting problems. click windows network diagnostics. And follow prompts. And apply fixes. Not sure if it will work for you but it re established the connection for me.

Ok tried everything I know even done a factory reset on computer still the same.
Googled the error message 0x0070035 this seem to be a common windows error. Trouble is there seems to be a 101 solutions that seem to be a bit over my head. As any body else came across and solved it
