Re: Remote Desktop Stopped Working

Well first off the Vista Home Premium PC at the office can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop [RDC] host/server so when you say "I can't connect from home (XP Pro) to office (Vista Home Prem)" that is to be expected. Only Vista Ultimate/Business can act as a RDC host/server. So is that a typo?

When you say you can't connect XP Pro to XP Pro where are those PCs located, ie. at the office on the same LAN or is one remote to the other?

Is this even the correct group? XP has a RD section, but I don't see one here
unde r the Vista section.

I don't know... working fine for months. Now I can't connect from home (XP
Pro) to office (Vista Home Prem) or XP Pro to XP Pro or anything else for
that matter.

I've rebooted; activated/deactivated Remote access; activated / deactivate
antivirus; activated/deactivated firewall (none used, only Linksys router).

And many combinations thereof, many, many, many times.

All that's left is hysterical sobbing.

Can anyone help? Please?
