Re: Getting Terminal Services to work

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I got the ping to work. I added 192.168.1.1 to DNS server address in order of use and now pinging CTRAVEL (with the period in the DNS suffixes) works fine. But I am still getting
The FRED domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers.
On Vista machine although it went away on the XP machines. The XP machines see each other through Remote Desktop and view workgroup computers. But they can see the Vista machine through workgroup computers but not when browsing through Remote Desktop. The Vista machine on the other hand can only see itself on the workgroup.
thanks,

I'm integrating my new Vista 64 bit computer into my home network with XP pro computers on it. All the computers are on a workgroup "Fred". At first my Vista computer could see the XP computers. But it did not see the XP computers as being in the same workgroup. And remote desktop from the Vista to the XP computers did not work by name only by IP address. If I pinged the XP computers from the Vista and the IP addresses were wrong. All the computers are behind my router and are in the 192.168.1.xx subnet. From the XP computers pings were right and the ping looked like this
ctravel [192.168.1.100]
from Vista it looked like this
ctravel.san.rr.com [207.69.131.9]
A helpful fellow here suggested getting rid of the DNS suffix by put a period in the "Append these DNS suffixes". Things got really strange then. Vista stopped seeing the XP computers at all. If it try browsing from Remote Desktop connection then I get the message
The FRED domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers.
The thing that really seems strange to me is this new behavior persists even if I take the period out of the field. If I try pinging CTRAVEL without the period the result looks just the same as it did before. If I ping with the period in I get
C:\Users\charles>ping ctavel
Ping request could not find host ctavel. Please check the name and try again.
And (to me) even stranger is now the XP machines talking to each other give me the
The FRED domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers.
When browsing to Fred from Remote Desktop
Since the period on the Vista machine although they worked fine before.
How do I get a terminal services into FRED again? Should I do it from the Vista machine or the XP machines or all machines? Why did it disappear?
Any ideas welcome thanks ,
Chas
