Re: Remote Desktop Connection sees NADA

EURIKA!!!

One very helpful and crucial tidbit in this post from Sooner ---- "3. If
your running NAV 2005 worm protection".

If you have Norton Anti Virus 2005, shutting OFF the Worm Protection will
open Port 3389 from the "filtered" status to the "listening" status and allow
the RDC to connect!

Thank you SOONER!!

Make sure...

1. Your calling the correct static private LAN IP.
2. If your running any software firewall software on the PC your trying to
connect to make sure TCP Port 3389 is open on the firewall.
3. If your running NAV 2005 worm protection or Microsoft OneCare Live Beta
you may need to configure the software to allow incoming Remote Desktop
connections...

If I type the IP address, I quickly receive the error, "The connection was
ended because of a network error. Please try connecting to the remote
computer again." And if i type the computer name (no backslashes), there
is
a long pause (perhaps 30 to 60 seconds) followed by the lengthy error,
"The
client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connection might
not
be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It
is
also possible that network problems are preventing your connection. Please
try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact
your
administrator."

Any other suggestions?

I am trying to use Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows XP Home
laptop to view my Windows XP MCE 2002 Desktop computer over the
wireless network.

I went to the System Control Panel, Remote tab on the XP MCE machine
and checked the box for "Allow users to connect remotely..." I also
used the Select Remote User" button to add the two main usernames.

When I open Remote Desktop Connection on the XP Home laptop, there is
nothing klisted in "Computer" so I coose "Browse for more." A dialog
with the name of my workgroup opens up (NOT the name of the wireless
network). But when I try to open the workgroup to see a list of
machines, I get a message, "The (WorkgroupName) domain/workgroup does
not contain any terminal servers."

What am I missing here?

You can't browse for it. You will have to type the XP Pro computer name
in
the box...or its IP address.
