New guy here.

I followed the steps for setting up a remote connection to my HTC Mogul (Sprint). It works while the phone is Active Sync-ed to the desktop computer, but when I remove the connection I get the following error message:

Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:

1.) Specified computer name or ip does not exist.
2.) A network error occurred while establishing the connection.

I used my computer name as listed on the desktop.

In an attempt to narrow down the cause of the error, I disabled my firewall (COMODO) as well as the windows firewall (just as a precaution). Still the same error.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.


As an added note: When I am logged off on the desktop I get the same message. Currently, I am able to connect through Active Sync, but not able to log onto windows as it states it couldn't log me on, that I should check my username & password. Which both are correct. Again, shutting down the firewall produces the same message.
