Re: Problem with Remote Desktop

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

OK, let's do some tests on your laptop PC:
- Click Start / Run
- Type the three letters cmd
- Click the OK button
- Type the following commands:
ipconfig{Enter}
(Confirm that the IP address is 192.168.0.252)
ping 192.168.0.252{Enter}
telnet 192.168.0.252 3389 {Enter}
- Report what happens in each case.

And now on the desktop PC:
- Click Start / Run
- Type the three letters cmd
- Click the OK button
- Type the following commands:
ping 192.168.0.252{Enter}
telnet 192.168.0.252 3389 {Enter}
- Report what happens in each case.

Note also the following:
- If your PCs have fixed IP addresses then these addresses are set by
Windows on each PC. They are not set in the router.
- Port forwarding is irrelevant in your case. It is only used when
external data packets must be forwarded to a specific internal PC.
- Workgroup/domain settings are irrelevant for this exercise. The laptop's
IP address is the only thing that matters.

On the laptop:
-- IP is 192.169.0.252
-- ping is successful
-- telnet is NOT successful:
[C:\Temp]
telnet 192.168.0.252 3389
Connecting To 192.168.0.252...Could not open connection to the host, on port
3389: Connect failed

On the desktop PC:
-- ping succeeds
-- telnet fails, same message as on laptop.

Thanks for the help.
