I want to use Remote Desktop Sharing in NetMeeting to connect to a remote PC to download files or fix problems on it. I tried to call the remote PC using its IP address but it only allow me to access the netmeeting features like video conferencing.

First a little background... My father-in-law has a small local network. He has a laptop that can connect to the main computer (desktop computer) via remote desktop with no problems; this laptop has windows xp home. He purchased another laptop that has Windows XP Media Center and I cannot get remote desktop to work on it. The message I get after entering the credentials is something about virtual memory being low. I have checked the virtual memory settings and everything looks fine. I don't really think that it has anything to do with virtual memory. From this new computer (The one with Windows XP Media Center) I can ping the desktop computer and I can share files and printers with no problem.Oh, one more thing...my brother-in-law can also remote desktop in just fine so it is something that is on this (new laptop) computer.The only thing I can think of is there is something with Windows XP Media Center that is preventing remote desktop even though everything seems to match up to the other laptop that can connect using Remote Desktop.Anyways, I am almost ready to install Windows Xp Professional on this laptop to get Remote Desktop working if I can't getting this working.Has anyone else had any problems with Remote Desktop with Windows XP Media Center before or does anyone know if there are any issues with it working with Remote Desktop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe title says it all! Basically I have a comp running XP pro and I want to be able to work locally on one user account, with some kind of remote access server running on another XP user account so that the remote account and the local account can be used simultaniously. I know that this cannot be done with XP Pro remote desktop and could be by Windows Server 2003 remote desktop, but i need an alternate solution to make this happen.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking in using either using Remote Assitance and/or Desktop in a help desk support environment. For example, if a user calls in asking for assistance with a application, or if we are in need of troubleshooting the machine, we would like to initate a remote assistance request that takes the end user out of the equation so we don't need to walk them through how to send a email/file request.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two different computers both running Windows XP professional. I am trying to connect to one remotely using the Remote Desktop Connection. I have enabled the remote computer for remote logins but for some reason I cannot connect with it. I get the error message that the client could not connect to the remote session. I have 50 other computers on this network all set up the same way and have never had a problem. Everything seems to be configured exactly the same. I can ping the remote computer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is my problem. I am logged in to a machine via remote desktop and another user with admin rights logs in via remote desktop and logs me off because they assumed that I had forgotten to log off or whatever else. Is there any permission setting either in group policy or elsewhere that would prevent a user attempting to connect via remote desktop from logging off an already logged on user? The problem is that both users are and need to be Admins.

Remote Desktop seems to cater for this, however I would appreciate knowing the easiest way of setting it up.Having set up numerous SBS's using RWW, which requires Certificate

Is it possible for me to login to the computer via Remote Desktop while someone else is logged in locally, or vice versa? I don't see why it forces them to logout with Fast User Switching enabled.since programs run in the background anyways.

View 14 Replies View RelatedA long time ago I started looking into this because my mum has a PC with XP Home on and I am running XP Pro (both fully up to date), however I seem to recall reading that you couldn't remote into a XP Home machine, only into a XP Pro machine, is this correct? Ideally I would like to try and sort this out so I can sort out any problems with my mums PC if/when they arise without having to try and talk her through it on the phone which can be quite difficult at times.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am needing to work from home and want to use remote desktop to access my work computer. We are thinking about getting a new laptop which probably would come with XP Home. Do I need XP Professional on my home computer since that is what we have at work? What is the difference between Home and Professional? Also, it seems most of these computers come with Microsoft WORKS and I need the office suite. HOw compatible are Works documents? I have Works on my desktop at home now and when I try to open documents at work I am not able to. And finally, can I buy XP upgrade to upgrade from Windows ME on my current home desktop?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 4 computers in my LAN, they share the same workgroup. I am having a problem with a Windows XP Professional SP2 machine. I enabled remote desktop and i cannot connect to it from another computer.When i try to connect from another computer, i first type in the IP or NetBios name of the computer in question. I get a prompt to enter credentials (username and password). Next i get a prompt because the computer i am trying to connect from is Windows Vista (i tried from another XP computer and it didn't work there eihter), which basically says that it can't verify the identity of the computer and i click yes to continue. After that, the prompt disappears and the Computer input box and the Connect, Help and Options >> buttons in the remote desktop client are greyed out for about 2 seconds, then it just becomes editableclickable and it doesn't connect, neither does it give any error message. I just can't connect to the remote machine. From the problematic machine i can connect to other machines in my network via remote desktop and it works fine.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a XP Pro kiosk which displays information via the SVGA port to the kiosk monitor. Since this computer is in a locked closet, it would be desireable to remotely configure the contents of the screen (power point) from a remote computer. There are several people who require access to this system although not at the same time.
I have tried to configure MS Remote Desktop such that it doesn't create a new session (XP only allows one session whereas Server 2003 allows multiple), but rather displays in the remote desktop client EXACTLY what is being displayed on the kiosk monitor. Unfortunately, all attempts to configure the system to display the console (i.e. mstsc.exe /v:computer_name /console) cause the actual console to revert to an XP login screen rendering the kiosk unusable unless someone then unlocks the closet, logs in directly from the actual console and restarts the power point presentation.
is there a way for Windows XP to go into hybernation and then when remoting into the computer, it awakes?

When I connect to the VPN, I can ping the computer that I want to RD to, and I can even see it in explorer, I just can't connect via remote desktop. I thought it might be a firewall problem, but Windows firewall is allowing that exception.

When he tries to print, it seems to spool correctly, but never prints.The printer window says printing, and nothing ever happens.He has tried this with 3 different printers, all different makes and models, but still nothing. I have also seen this firsthand.I checked his settings, and it does say to connect automatically to printers, so that is not the issue.
