Sorry. Maybe i wasnt that clear. I have Xp Pro With No Sp2 installed. I Have disabled the windows firewall and i know my isp still allows outgoing and incoming traffic because i tested a port scanner for this purpose but for some odd reason it works but not like it says it should. It says it should send the user names then the passwords at the box in question (my sisters) but it only sends administrator [null] and admin [null].. This is strange.

You will need to edit the DWRCS.ini file, buried under settings -> install options. Your sister could help by opening up the Dameware icon on her PC (if it is on).

OR

She will have a copy of the original DWRCS.INI file on her PC (have her email it to you and replace yours). (DWRCS - Dameware Remote Console Services INIate)
