I was installing Logmein on my Windows 7 machine, and I received the error above.
Solution – Make sure to prefix the machine name – i.e. WIN7-BOX\User Name
This may be an issue on other OSes as well, but I wanted to make sure anyone in the same situation as me didn’t spend time disabling IPv6 and messing with UAC – in this case the error message wasn’t lying, as it often isn’t…

See below for troop numbers you should use when farming Cross, Rose, Lion, Honor, Courage, Wisdom, Freedom, Nation, or Justice medals to ensure the highest likelihood of getting what medal you want/need.
Be sure to wait one hour in between attacking the same valley for troops to regenerate, otherwise you have a much less likely chance to win a medal.

The best way to get honor medals with a high drop rate is to attack NPC cities. Level 1-4 have a high drop rate of medals.
Level 3 and 4 NPCs are rumored to have the best drop rates of Honor medals. Unlike my Scout Strategy this isn’t as quick as sending out some scouts. It might help to make an NPC near you using this strategy.

NPC Farming in Evony is the act of creating NPCs to attack and steal resources from. It’s a simple process that some say is very lucrative.
1 – Conquer a level 1-4 flat.
2 – Obtain an empty city slot
3 – Build a city
4 – Recall troops
5 – Abandon city (through the Overview menu on your other city)
