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...
The 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.
I have 2 users that need to access things on each others computer from 87 miles away. Both computers are behind routers and both are running windows xp pro. They need to use their computers at the same time.
Due to my problems with error 638 and being disconnected frequently I went into control panel,clicked on phone&modem options only to find that my modem isn't accounted for at all! There is a blank where my modem details should be and yet I am on line when I'm doing it! Help! My computer will not allow me to access Hijack- this but I've run adaware spybot and antivirus.I'm also refused access to the btyoyager modem booster as 'the unzipped folder is invalid or corrupt
I am using Windows XP home edition and I have a family member who is also using Windows XP home edition. I would like to be able to access the family member's computer and do weekly maintenance. I would like to have the family member do nothing, but just have the computer started with Windows XP and be on a high-speed connection.
I need to uninstall my old modem before I install the software for my new modem. Problem is when I try to uninstall the old one I get an error box come up saying "cannot open bitmap". I've rebooted in safe mode and tried it but i get the same error box.
I need to access the Remote Console provided with the XP install disk, and I have a few questions about it. I am running Windows XP Home with SP2 and have recently been having problems with a vundo trojan. As far as I can understand, to get rid of the remaining files I need to install the RC from the Windows XP install disk. However, I purchased my notebook from Dell and it came with a CD entitled "Reinstall CD - Microsoft Windows XP Home Editiont - Including Service Pack 1a".I'm wondering if I can use that CD to install the RC. And I've read that the RC doesnt work with SP2, so should i Add/Remove SP2 before installing this?
Just tried remote access to another PC, first with UltraVNC and then with Windows Remote and I could not take control of my friends PC but he could take control of mine.Checked Firewalls....we both run XP both have Avast AV and he doesn't have any programs that I think would be blocking it.
An elderly friend of mine runs a business out of her house and when she was away, her partner came to her house and installed something on her computer so she could monitor what she was doing from her own computer. I'm assuming it's something like 'Go to my pc' etc. She's running windows xp and isn't sure what to do. Before I look at her computer I wanted to ask for opinions in case there is some kind of stealth software installed that would be difficult to find and uninstall.
I've read a lot of the comments already posted to this site about this issue so I wanted to thank everyone for their great contributions. My situation is a little unique so I have some questions.Here's what I want to do.I have 2 floors in my building, the first floor being the warehouse and the second floor being my office. I want to have a desktop on the 1st floor that will not move and a notebook in my office (2nd floor) that I will be taking in and out of the office, or working with when I'm not in the warehouse.The 1st floor PC will have Windows XP Pro (I'm buying it this week), the one on the 2nd floor has XP Home. Both should have identical copies of the software that I'll be using.
First of all, I'm running on XP Home Edition.Okay, so I have this folder. This folder has been edited so that only administrators can access it, and not restricted users. This works just fine but here's my problem: when I connect my computer to a second one, the admins on computer 2 cannot access this folder. I've tried for several hours to look for a way to add user groups and types from more than just computer 1, but I can't seem to do this. It's not a connection problem or because of any firewalls either; if I make the folder open for everyone the admin from computer 2 can access the folder properly. But then we didn't want any restricted accounts there.
I am trying to remotely access drives from my one computer to my laptop in order to transfer files with more ease than running back and forth, burning, copying, etc. The method I am using is simple enough. The drives are set for administrative share [c$, d$, etc]. And I am accessing through the run command via \REMOTE_IPc$. I am definately pinging the computer correctly because a dialog box opens, however this is where the problem begins. The dialog box does not let me switch to an administrative account. It only shows "Guest" in the login name.
I dont have the guest account even activated on my main Desktop CPU and I wont have much access without administative rights. I was just wondering what could be making it so that I cant login under my main administative name. My desktop is using WinXP pro. Laptop is using XP home. Not sure if this fact matters but the desktop is using internet connection sharing that is feeding a router, which in turn is giving wireless internet to my home network wherein my laptop is connected. Also, I can access remote desktop easily enough but even with disk drives shared they do not show up on the remote computers "My Computer" folder.
I have a user here at work uses a Windows Xp laptop. Right now he is using OWA to view his emails. But how can he be setup to have access to the network to use his public folders and such? He takes his laptop everywhere goes he would like to have full access to the company network.
I want to access my home computer via the internet when I work in my office. My home computer is behind a router. I enable the virtual server function of the router. How can I do next? I had installed the VNC/Netmeeting/Dameware in my computer. I knew the cable connection's static IP address and my home computer's virtual ip address.
I am running a small network of 10-15 computers all running W2K, XP home or XP Pro. We have one computer we use as a file share (W2K) and no servers and this seems to work well for us at the present time. As the administrator I'd like to be able to run scripts that will give me status on processes running on the remote computers. In particular, we are using Microsoft Backup to do our daily incremental backups for our one shared application. If a user remains logged into the app during the night the backup won't recover the open files.
i have my home computer set up so that i can use remote desktop to access my work PC.however, i am having difficulty doing the reverse: connecting from work to home.my work pc is part of a domain and thus was easier to configure...my home computer is not part of a domain.so, what information do i need to connect to my pc? do i use the IP address of the machine i want to connect to? don't know if this is helpful info or not, but my pc is connected to a wireless router (linksys wrt54g). both machines run winXP pro.
i would like to know if it is possible to access windows xp from windows 98 through terminal service. My win98 pc is able to access my other win2003 server using remote desktop 5.1 but could not access winxp. I was prompted that the windows xp pc might be busy but its not doing any task. I use the user name that was added to remote desktop users group and have assign a password. The terminal service is windows xp is already started.
I just moved out of my parents' home and am now a province away. they need to install new virus software but can't figure out how to uninstall the old stuff. i tried helping them but failed, but i've heard you can remote access a computer in winxp and do stuff like that. can anyone tell me how? we're both using winxp, don't know if the fact that I'm using a laptop and they're on a desktop would make a difference.
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?
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 have an issue where if any user sends an invitation via Outlook to the administrator for Remote Assistance and the Administrator opens the attachment in the received message to Remotely Assist I get the following error message displayed: Logon Message "You do not have access to logon to this session" If I remotely connect using RDP to the same desktop it works fine.I have enabled Remote Assistance, been through various GPO settings and nothing seems to fix this issue.
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.
I'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.
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.
Here 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.
My question concerns Remote Assistance (RA) vs. Remote Desktop (RD) to XP Pro desktops. Providing tech support, I am trying to see if anyone knows how to setup RD session I initiate to a Windows XP Pro OS to "share" sessions with the end user, other than via RA.
We run a terminal server at my my workplace which runs Windows Server 2003 rc2.We use Remote Desktop The list of OS's is as follows Winxp pro, Winxp home Windows 2000, and some Windows Nt(Yeah i know its depressing). The problem im having is in most cases i can not print from a local machine while in remote desktop unless the printer is on an LPT prtiner port.I have the printer shared on every Local machine, Rdp is setup coreectly also but still no printy. The only thing i have not tried is installing the driver on the TS and then trying to install and bring over the printer while in RDP.
