I'm trying to connect to my PC at work via remote desktop. I followed the steps I found on this website http://edwebsfiles.ed.uiuc.edu/oet/i...op-Windows.doc On the General Tab on remote connection I input the following
Computer: my work computer name
UserName: I put the name I use to login to the PC with everyday
Password: my pw

In the experience Tab I select: 56K connection
I click on connect and I get the following message ::see attachment::
I 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.
I've been trying to use Remote Desktop to connect from my home computer to my office network's machines. I've followed all the instructions except for the part where it talks about getting a "virtual private network connection". Not sure if I have this part done right. Not even sure if this is the problem. Is there something that needs to be set up before being able to connect from a home computer to an office machine?
Constant error message in event viewer, the event id is 7000 and the description is Remote Access Conection Manager failed to start.Please I need immediate assistance to resolve this issue.
I'm trying to set up a remote connection so I can control and troubleshoot my other computer from my house, we both use dial up and windows xp is this feasible? What is the program that I want to look at? I've searched around but there isn't much mention of dialup anymore these days and we both cannot get any type of broadband
Took my favorite photo and made it my desktop background. Now I cannot remove it or replace it. I go to CONTROL PANEL, DISPLAY,under THEMES, I select a new one and click APPLY and OK. It does not change the desktop background. When I right click on a photo and select SEND TO, it does not give the option to set as a background.Also tried right clicking on the desktop, and PROPERTIES, getting the same results.
Can you only use remote desktop connection over a LAN or WAN? Is it possible to use it over internet with 2 pc's having a broadband connection if you get the ip address of the 2 pc's?
We have one server and 14 computers here at where I work. Some of the people want to connect to their computer from home. I would like to use the remote desktop connection integrated with windows xp just because its easy to use. I tried to connect to my computer and got the server, how can I basically select the computer that I want to connect to.
I am having the hardest time using remote desktop over my network.Everytime i try to remote to my pc downstairs (the name of this computer is downstairs) I get an error message "Client could not connect to remote computer". I have xp home on both pc's, with remote desktop connection enabled on the windows xp firewalls, and all the remote services enabled.
I have a Win XP Sp3 pc sitting on the school network to which I do RDC using the SSH tunnel with putty. It works fine and I can connect to it with no problem. The problem arises when I reboot the computer. I am unable to connect to the machine unless a local login has been done first. After a local login, I am able to see winlogin in the RDC window and go ahead from there. This is a big problem as I have to be around the machine when an update that requires a reboot is performed. Other pcs sitting on the same network do not have this problem.
I am trying to conned to a novice computer. Both of us are using Win XP Home. I am on Road Runner cable and the novice is on Comcast. He does not have a firewall other than the built-in one and we have tried it with this disabled. He does NOT have a router or wireless system. He only has the cable modem going to his computer. I am behind a router and have windows firewall disabled. From what I have read it should make no difference that I, as the one responding to the email invitation, am behind a router.What are the possible causes and solutions for this common error about "host name not resolved" when the inviter (novice) is NOT behind a router?
I've been trying to connect to my home pc using a remote desktop connection. I have an adsl connection with a static ip address assigned to my home network which is behind a nat router or adsl modem. I have redirected the standard rdc port to aim at my pc when an incoming connection arrives. When i aimed a connection from my work pc to my static ip except one little thing domain called eletrironica and ntlanct my PC is not on a domain at all.
At work I have a PC running WinXP x64 with dual monitors At home I have a PC running WinXP with dual monitors (Both have SP2)
I would like to use Remote Desktop Connection to work from home, on my work computer, USING dual monitors. Right now the remote window opens (with the size of one monitor) while spanning both monitors. IE Half of the window is on one monitor, the other half is on the other monitor.
I can't seem to expand the window to span both monitors. (I've tried doubling the deskwidth resolution in my .rdp file.)
Has anyone managed to accomplish the above? With my setup?
I have just installed XP pro SP3 and all is fine except that remote desktop connection gives me an error when I open it.'the pre release version has expired, download full version or contact administrator' I have downloaded the full version but get told when installing it that XP already has RDC pre installed, is there a problem with SP3? and can I fix this without having to reinstall OS?
how do I find the port of a computer to set the ip address for remote desktop connection? we have many work stations that share the same IP, but we just added a station and I can't figure out how to get the four digit port number
I have a Pentium 4 hp desktop computer running win xp pro with service pack 2. I can use remote desktop to connect from this pentium 4 pc but cannot connect from pentium 3 running windows xp pro service pack 1 to the pentium 4 pc.What might be the cause of this?I have selected remote desktop and remote assistance under exception tab in windows firewall on the pentium 4 hp computer running the service pack 2..How can I get to connect from the pentium 3 with service pack 1 to the pentium 4 with service pack 2?
I use the Windows xp remote desktop connection for my PC and my laptop via Wifi. When I first established it and sent an invite to my laptop my main pc had a password that was required to log on, so I used the same password to log onto the PC through the remote desktop via my laptop. Now, I have removed the password from my main PC but when I do that I cannot log onto through the remote desktop connection via my laptop because it won't accept a blank for the password. It will only work if I have a password on my user account on my main pc.
I have the lastest RDC installed (v6). I enter in the computer I am trying to connect to (name/IP). It then has a pop up for the 'user name and password'. Both computers start up without the need for a user name or password, so what do i enter here? Both running XP home with all the latest updates and McAfee Security Center (comcast version).
Problem with remote desktop connection from one PC at one country to another PC at another country. I cannot make remote assistance work either. I asked remote assistance from a friend who is abroad. Both of us have Win XP Pro.
I want to connect from my home computer to my non-profit business computer that I just upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro. At home I'm running XP home and have a cable connection and the remote computer is connected with a DSL modem, there's no routers involved. I enabled RDC on the remote computer, and cleared the "Don't allow exceptions" box. The remote machine has a dynamic ip which hasn't changed in a while. The host says it's listenning on port 3389. One thing is that whatismyip.com shows my ip address as one thing where ipconfig shows a completely different number. I tried connecting from the client using both numbers. In both cases I get the message: The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled...
I have rdwc working great using my laptop computer to access my work computer over the internet......after some small problems with set up.I do this using my DSL internet connection, however, when I try to connect using my cell phone internet connection it just times out.....never connects. The cell phone is accessing other internet sites fine. It just won't get to my work computer. I have checked the settings and they seem fine (firewall,router, etc..).
Are there any more sophisticated packages out there that can connect to standard Remote Desktop enabled Windows machine?I need to connect to several remote computers on a regular basis, and would like something that would remember my login settings for each one of them. The standard Remote Desktop Connection client that come with Windows 2000 only seems to remember the settings for *one* connection. (Or are there perhaps some call arguments that I could put into the shortcut, in order to define certain login parameters?)
When I click om remote assistance it shuts down just the program not the computer,also when someone send me an invitation I accept and it seems like its going into it but shuts down.And about remote desktop I go into system then remote but theres no options for remote dektop just remote assistance what should I do
I've been trying to help a friend by using the remote access feature in XP. We have tried several times but it keeps denying us saying could not establish connection after recieving the request in the email. We both turned off firewalls off and are both on at the same time. The only difference is I'm cable and he's dialup.
I have done some reading up on the internet, but I am still slightly confused about the full capabilities of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).I set my home desktop up to be a VPN server and connect my laptop to the VPN. Now, can I access my home network through any internet connection? Also, I use TightVNC for a remote desk connection. When I am connected to the VPN through any random internet connection, can I use this to remote access my desktop?
Main computer in home on Comcast cable..........CD/RW suddenly was not recognized and internet stopped working. Switched out modem, still no internet. Comcast tech came out, ran everthing to his computer and internet worked. Plugged modem in via USB and tried to load USB drivers, but no CD/RW...I took CD to secondary computer (hooked up to the main by wireless connection) to download drivers onto a floppy and THIS CD/RW would not recognize the data CD.......in explorer it showed the D: drive but would not read the data CD...I put in a music CD and in explorer it showed everything listed on the CD........... CD/RW worked briefly on main computer (long enough to load the USB drivers), and even connected to Internet via USB in the modem.....but again, the CD/RW quit and the internet connection was lost again. Do you make any sense of this? I'm so tired of all of it.
I have been using my fax from my computer for a long time and then one day it just did not work anymore. So I installed the XP home CD and tried to reinstall my fax and that was horrible.It still does not work and after all the research I have done to try and get it to be fixed, I am led to this conclusion, I get the error that the 'Attempt to connect to the fax printer failed' and then it askes to connect the driver and I do so but nothing happens.When I am in the Fax Console nothing is highlighted and at the bottom of the Colsone it reads 'Refreshing' or 'fax inaccessible'.When I go to fax and the Send FaX Wizard pops up and I click 'Next', nothing happens and then I get an error saying that the program is not responding.
