Re: Testing Remote Desktop Connection

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I finally got back to the problem and ran portqry. I tested Port 3389 and
the result was "NOT LISTENING". I uninstalled Norton Antispam and turned off
the firewall and got the same results. Any suggestions? I am also running
Norton Antivirus but am running NAV on a PC that works.
