I manage like 15 computers, friends, family etc, and want to setup something like remote command prompt access so i can move some an installer for whatever or fix issues remotely without bothering them.I was thinking something like telnet, or SSH but not sure how much access that will give me to the computer, I already have the built in admin account setup for using remote desktop but I truly hate using that. I want to avoid using remote desktop because well it sucks unless you are hard-lined on the same main network. I really don't need to see what they are doing, which is why i want to avoid using teamviewer, i don't wanna have to call them every time i need to login to fix something, and i don't wanna accidentally remote in and see them doing banking or something else like that.
I have Windows 7 RC running on my laptop and I love it. I also just came into possession of an older machine that I'm interested in turning into a small file server running Ubuntu (also because I've always wanted to tinker around with linux). I was wondering though what would be a good solution for remote administration for this setup. That way I can just have the server running and pop into it when I need to to do work.
Today I made a standard account on my laptop Windows 7. I logged out of my administration account to go into the new standard account. It's the first time I made another account on this laptop and haven't seen before "other user" as oppose to seeing the other account user name in the welcome screen. I figured out how to get in to the standard account, but now I can't go back into my administration account. Every time I type in my administration username and password it tells me "the username and/or password is incorrect". I've tried to research how to fix it, but what I've found so far doesn't seem to work.
I have tried to sort through the Admin fiasco in Win 7, default admin, "real" admin, just plain user, plain as mud, only M$ could create such convolution. I have Win 7 Ultimate and really like it....BUT....with a 30 inch 16 x 9 display, DVI in, hard to get a sharp screen....fonts in particular are blurred. I have gone through true type, no help.
Part of the problem is the "default" fonts. I think I know how to change them, but, big but, I cannot unlock the administration blockage even logged in as Administrator. I believe that is the problem as there is the gold & blue shield and the actions I want to take are grayed out, thus you can't click on them.
I have read others have set up an Admin with a password only to screw up their installation and I am unwilling to risk that as I have my OS set up just as I want it other than the font issue. Also, same problem in using the format capability of Win 7 for a hard drive, the gold shield/grayed out "format" cannot be accessed, again even though I am logged in as Admin.
I have annoying administrator pop up that asks for a code every time i open up a new download. I really need these downloads to run my computer the way i want it. I don't know how the administrator pop up got on here in the first place. Is there a master code i can use to type in the password bar when the administrator pop up appears?
Windows 7 (64-bit) will not connect to a remote location via VPN. I connect from my desktop running windows XP, but cannot connect on my Toshiba laptop running Windows 7.
I am trying to uninstall something (DivX) by going to the start menu and "remove divx bundle". I get the error message "You must have System Administration Privileges to uninstall DivX for windows, try again". I only have one account set up on this computer and it's an administrative account. What gives here?
i have a problem on my PC with Remote Assistance.i work in the end user support so i need to use it alote.the problem is that when ever i use the remote assistance my PC totaly disconnects from the internet!
We recently purchased a new PC with Windows 7. My wife works from home 2 days a week, and for the life of me, I cannot get the Windows 7 PC to connect to her work PC via RDC. It works just fine on her old machine, running XP Pro. I currently have the Firewall turned OFF, and also have the Firewall on my Belkin router turned off. Where do I start?
My neighbours are stealing my WIFI, hacking in to my PC and also throwing empty beer cans and used condoms in my garden, i have changed my password a few times but they keep getting in.
I'm trying to remote access my laptop on the same network (and potentially from a different network) but I can only do so when I use its 192.168.X.XX IP. When I try its up from What Is My IP Address - Shows Your IP Address I get the "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons
1) Remote Access to the computer is not enabled
2) The Remote Computer is Turned Off
3) The Remote Computer is not available on the network" I've also forwarded port 3389 on my Linkysys WRT54GSV4 router. Solved the issue. I'm just worried now because the laptop will move to a different network with my little cousins who won't know how to change the router's port settings for their router.
I curently RDC to my work computer and run the program I need from the work computer and just rely on the screen redrawing. I have the same program on my home computer and was wondering how to map the network drive or what settings to change on the server03 so that I could use that drive on the remote computer as a directory on my home computer for the program I want to use at home.
1. What's the difference between inputting the Remote computer's IP address and inputting the Remote computer's name? When I put in the IP, it connects fine. When I put in the name, it does not connect.
2. When I click on Desktop>Network, I see 2 names for a network computer. This networked computer has been renamed from A to B, but both A and B appear in the network. Why? And how do I remove the old name (A) from the network? I think it confuses the Remote Desktop Connection Client.
I have a desktop and a laptop (both running 7057) in my homegroup. I want to be able to run programs off of the desktop from the laptop. Is there a simple way to do this? I don't need VPN capabilities as I just want to be able to do this from inside the house. I've read through a bunch of threads here but haven't found what I was looking for. I can share files/folders just fine but can't seem to figure out how to share programs.
My wife has a home based photography business. Her studio is located on our property. Currently her network consists of her PC, a Motorola DSL Modem/Router from ATT and an external USB HD.
She would like to be able to access her photos that are at her studio from home, say on a laptop but I am unsure the best method for this. She needs to be able to access these images in such a way that she can post-process them in program such as Photoshop at home, and then save the image so that it updates that file in her studio when shes completed the post editing. So, basically it's like being able to edit images in 2 places while keeping the original files and the saved processed images in one central location.
I don't know if this means NAS, something in the cloud, or simply remote accessing the PC through Windows. Or perhaps some other method that I don't know about.
I consider myself to be decently informed when it comes to computer stuff but I want to get this right the first time around so I figured it best to gain insight from those who are more skilled than I before moving forward.
I have a hosted Linux server running CentOS 5 with Samba 3.4. Everything is setup and it is accessible via Linux machines by typing [URL] in a Firefox address bar. I am trying to set up a local network share on a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 computer. I have tried entering the IP address in 2 locations:1. Map Network drive. I select a drive letter and type in the ip \12.345.678.9 It asks for credentials and I enter the user info for the user I created on the Linux machine. It thinks a moment then pops back up asking for credentials. It doesn't say they are invalid, just never goes through.2. Connect to a website (under Map Network Drive). I type the IP [URL] and click connect and it pops up a dialog saying "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another".
I have tried creating a loopback adapter and trying to setup a connection via SSH using the guide found at [URL]. After completing the tutorial (substituting my server IP address for the destination address given) I try using the Run dialog as indicated and get a "Windows cannot connect to.." error and the diagnose connection button. One thing that may be causing problems there is that the loopback adapter is labeled as an unidentified network and thus stuck as a public connection, and I am unable to change it. Searching for solutions to that brings up things I can't access (no group policy editor on Home Premium) or results in no change (setting DHCP server, which I tried setting to my router).
I know there have been a number of posts on this subject but I have been unable to find a solution. I have 2 Windows 7 machines, both running SP1.
My HP Pavilion is running 64-bit and my Dell Latiude E6400 is running 32-bit. I can successfully RDP from my Dell and even my Apple iPad (via an RDP client) into my HP Pavilion. However, the problem is that when I try to RDP from my Pavilion into my Dell I get connected but all I see is a BLACK from the Dell machine. The only thing i can see is the Status bar at teh top telling me that i am connected. A few moments later I get a popup message telling me that the machines have failed to communicate.
I have confirmed that RDP settings are identical on the Pavilion and Dell. I have even downgraded the Dell NVIDIA graphics driver to an older version based on the recommended version on the Dell support web site.
I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, trying to use Windows remote desktop to connect to another PC in the LAN and install software. Right click on the .exe and choose run as admin. As soon as I do that I get a black screen with 2 white bars in the upper left hand corner(looks like a pause button). The user who's pc I am connected to sees the log inbox for the admin creds, how ever I can not get to it. How can I make that screen stop popping up?
We have several remote systems that can all connect fine. I am having an issue with one box. It is a windows 7 home premium machine with netgear wireless nic. When I open mstsc to connect to a remote machine I put in the ip address and click on connect.I receive an immediate failure with the text "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again...blah blah"I have a server 2008 r2 with Network level authentication enabled. I have 8 other systems that are hardwired, at different geographic locations and all connect fine. I have not made any changes on the server side since this problem seems to be local to this client only. On the client I have made the following changes/observations. I have disabled the firewall, cleared the remote desktop cache, remove the MRU entries from the registry, verified that port 3389 is open via telnet. I have been bashing my head for days trying to figure out why this one box is not working. The problem occurs for every user on the box including the admin.I don't receive the box that prompts for warning if there is a server authentication issue but I think that is because I selected ignore at some point and said yes to continue. I'm not sure where that cache resides to delete that selection.
i would like to connect using RDC from my netbook (using windows 7 starter) to my desktop (using windows 7 professional) on the road.i have followed all the steps here: Allow Remote Desktop connections from outside your home network when i try to connect i get the dreaded "remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer" error message.
I connect to a remote machine C from Machine B which is connected from Machine A, How can I send ctrl+alt+end to remote machine C ? I cannot access m/c C from m/c A, I need to go through B to access C.
m/c A --> Remote destktop to m/c B --> remote desktop con m/c C.
since i installed windows 7 on my notebook everything else works flawlessly except for the hp remote control...i installed all the drivers for the ene cir receiver drivers for windows 7 x64 bit also tried the x86 but it still isn't functioning...do u guys know any drivers or 3rd party software that u think might work?i really need the hp remote to work...because the job i do can really use it...i have the hp pavilion dv7-1170US
I have 3 computers running 7600 ultimate, 2 are running x64 one is running x86. All 3 have remote streaming enabled, all 3 have the same windows live linked credential. Is there a port I need to open from the router side on my home network to allow remote streaming to function correctly? I consistently get the error ''Windows Media Player encountered a problem while downloading the playlist." when playing from a remote connection. All 3 computers are on the same homegroup also when they're at my place. Additionally all the computers dont show up for eachother in the ''other libraries'' section of WMP, they show up intermittently.
Searched the internet, forums and tried everything even removing IDT.And getting a major head ache out of this. x64 notebooks.But on 1 single notebook the RDP does not work when connecting through a VPN.(Sony Vaio S-series factory customized i7, 8GB)The office has a Draytek VPN with an 2003 AD domain.Other notebooks do not have the problem. Remote desktop locally works Remote desktop via branche office works (through hardware based vpn tunnels) MS VPN connects, network is browsable MS VPN -> RDP shows: [Configuring remote session] But after a while connection is denied MS VPN -> Fileshares - functional MS VPN -> Webserver, FTP server - functional Maybe one of you guys have a hunch why this specific situation doesn't work?
I am trying to remote into my HTPC (Windows 7 Pro) from my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium).
On the HTPC I have set it up so that it can allow for remote access. Under System PropertiesRemote Access I chose the third option "Allow connections only from computers running remote Desktop with Network level Authentication."
I am looking to connect to my WHS 2011 from outside of the home, as I spend a lot of time at college etc.I've only ever really used RDC at home, So I am unsure as to how to do this from an external location,My setup at home is this:
Router --------------------------->Router 2----------------->server (main in different room) (secondary acting as switch) (running WHS 2011)
So what I have done is set the router a static IP (192.168.0.6)And forwarded ports on the second router (3389)
And tried connecting from my laptop inside the local network, works fine, Outside at college, it still does not work
Do I need to forward ports on the Main router as well?
I use Remote Web workplace to connect to my work Windows 2003 Server. When I'm in Full screen mode of being connected to a work desktop, Alt-Tab cycles through my local apps instead of the apps on the remote desktop. I know that RDC has an option to change this in the Local Resources tab. I wasn't sure if RWW used the same settings or had similar settings of its own. I think that when using XP, Alt-Tab cycles through the remote's apps and so I didn't know if there was a way to make Windows 7 do the same.
