You don't need to put in a password, Windows already knows your password.
I don't have a windows password...
So when you reboot your computer you don't have to log in, you go straight to the desktop? Or do you type in a username and login without a password?

Ok, so let's confirm the current logged in user since you auto log in:
Open a command prompt and type the command: query user.
You'll get a result like this:

Post a grab of the result. I'm kind of expecting it to be "chris".

Ok, so the username you need to use in the CosmosEx configuration is chris.
If your user chris has no password, then your configuration will be like this:
Cosmos.JPG
Obviously you will need to substitute your own IP address.
If your user does have a password, I can't help you with that I'm afraid.
If you use DHCP then if your IP address changes then you will need to update the CosmosEx configuration, better to use a static IP.

Only thing I can suggest now is to power of the ST, reboot the CosmosEx and see if it connects.
Time for bed said Zebedee, pick up on this tomorrow!
