Re: RDC printing via vpn

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

are you using V5.1 of the RDC? ... if so upgrade the RDC to 5.2 or higher
as printer redirection in 5.1 wasn't that flash.

Hi:

I am trying to print via RDC using a PPTP VPN connection from my client to
a
SBS network. I have attempted it on the Terminal server and a client
machine. For some reason the printer on my home PC as well as the CEO of
the
company will not install. When I log in from my office however using a
Vista
machine the default printer on my laptop works great. It only seems to be
XP
machines and it is network wide.

I have done the following:
turned off firewall on home system
added to trusted sites
I can ping the IP of the remote PC from the target PC on my network
when I go into add printers I can see the printer but it will not install.
I get the following error " windows cannot connect to the printer. either
the
printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its
connection to the server"
I cannot however ping the home PC by name.

Thanks,
Charles
