Are there routers that make it possible to connect from a remote location (e.g. open Wi-Fi somewhere) via VPN without my home PC being ON?

I knew Vista Home does not allow remote desktop connection to it. I followed some online hack and install some Terminal Service hack file. It worked when my laptop Windows XP sits close to the Vista HOME PC, when the laptop is using wireless and the Vista is using Internet LAN connection. I made sure my Kaspasky Internet Security Firewall is open for RDP port. But the moment when I move out of my home, and bring the laptop to an outside network, I cann't connect to the Vista Home PC anymore. If RDP to Vista is not an option. What is the next best remote connection software that allows smooth file transform and clipboard transfer, as seamless as RDP?

Both computers are running Windows Vista Home Premium
Both computers are behind a firewall router
Having done some reading on this over the last couple of days, it **seems** the following configuration changes will make this work;
1) Configure Windows Firewall by enabling Remote Assistance as an exception
2) Enable Remote Assistance from the "Remote" tab under "System Properties"
3) Ensure the device network is set "Private" under Vista "Network and Sharing Centre"................
I am stumped as to an issue I am having using remote desktop. I have several machines in the office that have been using RD for a while without issue. All are XP SP 3 machines. I have a new Vista Ultimate machine that I am trying to remote to with an XP machine. I have set up RD on the Vista Machine, Firewall is checked, forwarded to the correct port, set the port rule on the router...all the typical issues I am aware of. Everytime I try to connect I get "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator." I can ping the Vista machine and I can remote from the vista machine to any RD enabled machine.

All of the older w/s can map to the rest of the w/s using UNC mapping with admin user name and password. I can not get the VISTA laptop to connect to the rest of the network w/s using UNC mapping. I get the message Cannot connect to the drive location. I use the diagnose feature and it states that the drive is already mapped on this w/s by a different user.

1) From home I can access succesfully (using remote desktop) all computers except
the one that runs Vista
2) From my office I can access succesfully my vista PC for example using an Xp of one of my collegue.
In other words
1) I can access vista from local network (remore desktop) without any problem
2) I can access all pc (remote desktop) from home except the one that runs vista
This is strange. I have two nearly identical HP laptops. Both are the same model, but one (that gives trouble) has some additional hardware (video) features. Both are running Vista Home Premium 64 and have all the updates applied. I am trying to open a RD session on an XP Home Pro machine. One of the HP's works without a hitch. The other one gives up with a "Cannot Connect" message (but, of course, no details about what went wrong.) System logs on the XP and both laptops don't reveal anything that I can find. I tried copying the .rdb file from the one that works to the one that doesn't. That made no difference. The failing laptop can ping the XP system, and file and printer sharing work fine. The user id's on both laptops are the same - the user accounts are set up the same on each.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am on a corporate domain running windows vista. There is apparently a group policy that is preventing me from starting the windows firewall service. That's fine since I don't want to use it anyways. Before joining the machine to the domain, I enabled Remote Desktop. Now, even though remote desktop is enabled, I cannot connect to the vista machine from my XP machine. I tried to telnet from the xp machine to the vista machine on port 3389 and it failed. So my suspicion is that I need to open up this port on the vista machine somehow. What I don't understand is what's blocking the port? The firewall is disabled (service is not running) and I haven't installed any other firewall software. Also, both machines are on the same subnet and remote desktop connections are possible on other machines over the LAN, so I don't believe it's anything that needs to be changed on a router. This is starting to drive me insane! (I'm a software developer, not a system or network administrator, so this is really a weak spot in my knowledge.)

I have a intel Quad core running vista x64 that I use only for my Media Center station. It has no keyboard and no mouse. no monitor, only the TV. What I am trying to do here is remote connect to it with my old Win98 computer to encode, menage etc my media on that computer. So far all this work very nicely, but What I am wondering is is there a way I can do this without the `Current User` on the media center to log off? Because when I remote connect, the media center software and everything shut down. And since using Remote access requires me to set up a password to the `current user` when I boot up the media center computer, I have to enter the password ( and I have no keyboard connected to it) so I have to plug in the usb keyboard. I thought maybe RADMIN 3.0 would be the solution but I haven't heard any success story running radmin onto Vista x64.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to connect via RDC from a Vista Biz machine to a Vista Home Premium machine. It is calling for my credentials and I can't find anything that will tell me what my credentials are supposed to be. All I can find in forums are questions about why Vista won't save them. I just want to know what they are. Neither machine is password protected, so what should I enter? The username for the Biz machine? The username for the Home machine?
Neither? What about the password? In any case, I am (of course) denied access with a message saying "Your credentials did not work".
I've seen several posts concerning the inability to Remote Access a Vista (x86) Home Premium machine. I can easily access my Vista desktop from an MCE2005 XP machine using Live Mesh -- at least from behind the NAT on my home network. Am I to understand that this is definitively not possible from a remote computer over the internet?

View 7 Replies View Relateda friend brought over his vista machine (home premium 64 sp1) and it cannot connect to the net. not through ie7 (for him preferred), firefox, or this other one he has called wyzo. there also seem to be multiple copies of ie on the box (ie and an ie 64).i started researching the problem on the 'net, and found, well, all kinds of info. a little background...i have a wrt54g, a compaq desktop/xp sp2, powerbook g4 osx10.4, old ass compaq latop running fedora9, acer aspire one xp hsdpa, and a ps2, and xbox through a hub to a network bridge. all wirelessly connected. to slow ass at&t. and it all works and it's working as i post this. (itunes radio alternative/live105) so i know its not my network.so with all the info thats readily (abeit you have to sift) available, i tried a few things. the wireless portion of the laptop seems to be working. hardware wise it lights up and switches. it connected to my network fine. start ie7 and nothing. i installed firefox. nothing. "cannot find page" and all that. same with that wyzo. i even plugged it in physically to the router with some cat5. i let it try to diagnose itself and it of course cant find the problem.so i dig into google and come up with the dhcp flag thing. checked it, its already set at 1. but its called DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag and thats for both devices. i also found info about an update that is messing people up. but the only MS updates on the machine are MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB941833 and KB954430). nothing is checked in lan settings for automatic ip configuring.this is so odd to me.

I am trying to connect my new Vista Home PC with my work XP PC in order to share some files and a USB modem connected internet link (on the Vista PC). I am using an ethernet to ethernet cable which has previously worked with my old XP PC and the same work PC. For some reason, I cannot get my Vista PC to allocate any IP addresses (you can tell I'm not very good with network settings...).
I don't have a router to use as a DNS, the PCs have been in the same workgroup but it made no difference. I can ping localhost on the Vista PC. There is no nice wizard to set up a wired connection on Vista, just wireless, dialup, VPN or connect to the internet. Grrrrrr.

I just got my Wii back yesterday. I had to send it off for repair because my son (3 years old) decided to put in some playing cards and a box top lid. My problem is that before I sent it off for repair I could connect to internet just fine. Now I can connect as before because my routers wireless security is disabled. I set up the router that way on purpose. Now I want to enable the wireless security, WAP Personal, which I did and reconfigured all laptops, everybody can connect. Now, when the Wii tries to connect I get error code 51030...that tells me that there is now WI-Fi access for it to pick up. If I disable wireless security it connects just fine. So, How do I keep my wireless WAP personal enabled and still be able to have the Wii connect as well.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to be as brief as I can...I just built myself a new Vista Ultimate with SP1 system to take the place of my previous entertainment system, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. In my home network, the Entertainment System box is my gateway to the internet, via a dial-up connection. I'm in an area where I can't get DSL or cable. I've successfully used ICS on 3 different Windows builds over the years, from Win98 to WinME to WinXP, all setup on the WAN port of routers. This effectively isolates the Windows box running ICS from the other two computers I run on the LAN. My WAN IP range is thus controlled by the DHCP service built into ICS, and I'm free to use anothe IP range on my LAN instead of 192.168.0.x that ICS assigns. There is only this system with it's dial-up connection on the WAN side; the system is essentially behaving like a slow DSL modem.
Here's the problem: my brand new Vista Ultimate entertainment system will not talk reliably to any of the 3 routers I've tried, on EITHER LAN OR WAN! 2 of the 3 routers I have used with my previous XP-based entertainment system, and they behave just fine. What is it about ICS in Vista that is preventing me from even accessing the setup for my routers? I've tried turning off Windows firewall, disabling IPv6 and Network Discovery, etc. until I'm blue in the face, but nothiing helps. Even if I connect Vista to the LAN side and set proper static IP to reach router configuration, I'm denied! I bought a new Belkin wireless N router today, thinking it HAS to be a compatibility issue, but even this "Vista ready" router will NOT let me even configure it using the Vista OS. I sure hope someone can give me some answers that help me understand. I hate to think I might have to put my XP Media Center box back in the dial-up sharing position just to get my internet connection back to my other computers again....
Cannot connect Vista H.P. to ADSL internet (NETIA, if someone knows what I'm talking about). The same connection and settings work for XP I have on another computer. They share the same modem, I just connect it to Vista computer or XP. Vista says it's an error 851. When I try to set up a Phone connection (like it works on XP), the only modem that's shown is an internal modem, not the ADSL one.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe symptom of my problem is Vista is telling me that my firewall is not running, but it won't start manually. Also doesn't connect to the internet (I'm using a borrowed machine here) I can see that BFE is not running and that won't start either, says a file is missing. I have tried a system restore to several different points, after quite a few minutes tells me this has failed and the problem is still there. Tried the sfc which said it fixed some files but could not fix all, wasn't obvious to me from the log what it couldn't fix.
In desperation have backed everything up I can find and tried to reinstall (I have a Dell installation disc so no option to repair) This got to the first reboot on expanding files (27%) and then failed and restored back to the original configuration. As you can see I seem to be in big troubles, (started after a Windows Update this morning as far as I can tell, was alright before that)
The wireless card is a Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. I've successfully connected to many open access points that broadcast their SSID, and have had no problem tracking down and identifying access points in range of my laptop, no matter what kind of security they use. (WEP, WAP, etc)My current problem involves attempting to connect to a wireless AP that is NOT broadcasting an SSID and uses WEP 128 bit encryption. For reference, I have used a Windows XP machine and a laptop running Vista Business Edition, both of which can connect to the AP, which resides 6 ft away. On the Vista Home Premium laptop however, I get limited or no connectivity to the network. For additional security, the AP has a MAC filter in place and I have confirmed that my MAC is in the filter. Checking the packet transmission information on the status window, it is clear that the laptop is broadcasting packets without any issues, but none are being received. Logging into the AP, it shows no signs that my laptop has attempted to connect.
I've installed the latest drivers available, and at this point am at a complete loss as to why my laptop can seemingly connect to any AP but this one. Especially since I can connect with other Vista versions, and with Windows XP...........................

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had windows XP pro and i bought windows vista home premium upgrade, when i went to install it it said that i couldn't upgrade it. So i followed directions on how to do a custom clean install, where you install vista without typing in the product key and without getting updates then you pick what OS you have and do the custom installation, then you install again (2nd time) and choose upgrade instead of custom and go through the process again.
The problem is after installing it the first time, I couldn't connect to the internet, so I couldn't install it a second time. I have an ASUS PQ5 PRo motherboard and when i start up there is this thing called express gate, in express gate I can use the internet but not when i enter Vista. When I put in the PQ5 Pro DVD vista says it can't open it. Also my XP PRO may have been 64bit, and now I am on Vista32 bit and the disck wont work.
I think the internet is a driver problem, if i go to the asus website on a diff computer and get the ASUS drivers put them on a USB and then open them on vista should this work? WHat drivers do I need? Just the LAN one? Also if the Asus DVD wouldnt start up will that mean that I wont be able to open the drivers on the flash drive too?
