Re: RDP to clinets not connecting



I appreciate you sticking with this.

I tried connecting with the IP address and the same thing happens. The erorr
I get is the standard RDP error:

The client could not connect to the remote computer. Blah blah blah, please
try connecting later.

Oddly enough when I ping the client, it resolves the IP correctly but the
pings do not go through. I can access the computer through network places and
I can get to it using \\computername or \\ip address but no ping and no rdp.

I know we have already traveled this path somewhat, but could you try
the following:

Try to RDP to the client machine using it's IP address (not it's
'name').

Does that make any difference?

Can you also post back with the exact error message you are getting -
I don't think it was posted in full above, but if so, just post a link
back to it.

Thanks,

Alan.

I have turned off the group policy that enables the firewall and then
turned
it off at the clients. I have also enabled remote access and added
the domain
admin to the users allowed to connect. This has been double checked
and check
again lol

Thanks

And you are certain that Remote Access is turned on for the
username you
are trying to access from (not an issue for Domain Admins I think
as long
as remote access is turned on at the target client)?

Thanks once again for the reply.

Yes both the IP address resolved by DNS and the IP address from
the
clients
when ipconfig is run match.

I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.

Thanks

Hi Alan, thanks for the info. I have tried all that you
suggested
and I can
browse to the computers and access resources off them such as
shares
and
printers. When I ping them it resolves the IP correctly but
ping
fails to
reach them.

I have released/renewed the IP's several times and rebooted
the
clients and
server several times.


Just to clarify, are you saying that the IP address resloved on
your
workstation for BobsPC is the same as the IP that BobsPC
reports
itself?

If not, another possibility is that you may have to flush the
DNS
cache on your machine:

IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Then reboot (I think) and try again.

Please can yo upost back to confirm that both your workstation
via,
say, PING BOBSPC) and BobsPC (via IPCONFIG) both report the
same IP
address.

Thanks,

Alan.
