When I log on remotely, it seems that not all the programs are working.For example - The AntiVirus software does not starts. If I use the PC itself, not remotely - all the programs are working fine.
I am trying to connect from home to my office computer both are running win xp pro spk 2, i setup the office computer to allow remote access as described by microsoft, and i do from my home what i need to do to connect to it but no luck, ok i will tell you what i did in my office, i access my router and under port forwarding i addedd the ip of the office computer and assign port 3398, from home i am typing the office ip:3398, and still does not connect, i also added in the office computer a user and a password and i assigned to this userd admistrator rights, firewall is off on this office computer this is the message i get when trying to connect.

Quote: The remote connection has timed out.Please try connecting to the remote computer again.so I go to the troubleshoot help thing and it says this: Quote: The remote connection has timed out.Please try connecting to the remote computer again.Cause:The terminal server disconnected your session because you did not send a response within the time limit set for responses.
When my Mom proffers an invitation for remote assisance using MSN Messenger 7.0 she recieves the following: "Remote Assistance cannot connect because <user> denied the request for help". I've looked at some of the other, similar, threads posted on connectivity issues with 7.0 in these forums, but nothing seems to help. We can send and recieve each others video and audio. Also, the games work. I've tried to do this with a couple of other freinds with the same result. Before we were forced into the 7.0 upgrade there were no problems. I've checked my settings to allow RA, reinstalled 7.0, tried using Windows Messenger, and have tried doing this with my firewall (ZoneAlarm) disabled.
I was trying to connect to another computer using remote assistance. I have XP prof. and the other computer has XP home. We were getting a message about not being able to resolve host name. After disabling firewalls and setting up port triggering for 3389 we cannot get past trying to connect. It just hangs there and goes nowhere. The other computer has XP home and is asking for assistance from a XP prof compter behind a router but has port triggering enabled for port 3389 even though it not needed.
when i accept an invitation it says connecting then i get a message "Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the remote host name could not be resolved. Please try again." how do i resolve this
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 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.
I have moved a long distance away and am trying to get remote assistance working. I have xp prof. and he has xp home. We are trying to connect through windows messenger. We both wm 5.1. We both have windows firewall on but allow exceptions. Windows messenger is checked in exceptions. We both are on Verizon DSL I have a linksys router and he has Verizon modem/router combo. We both get a messge that states that "cannot resolve host name" I cannot find anything about the message in microsofts knowlege base.
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.

I have a desktop PC running Window XP Home Edition and my laptop has XP Pro Edition. I want to use my desktop as the host computer and would like to run "Remote Desktop" so I can access the desktop via my laptop. I've been told both that it is possible and that it is not. The reason given for not being able to do so was that the "host" computer has to be running the Pro Edition.
I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right forum. Here is what I need help on if it can be done. After using remote desktop you either click logoff or disconnect. When you select logoff the xp client I believe is at the Ctrl, Alt, Del screen. If you select disconnect I believe it's at the screen that says your computer is locked press Ctrl, Alt, Del to unlock. Is there a way maybe using a group policy to actually just release the desktop so it's not locked or logged off?
to run the office Sage accounts remotely from home. The "Server" will be an XP Pro box running only the Sage accounts application which is also accessible direclty from the LAN (this is a basic small office peer to peer workgroup). We have a broadband connection to the Internet from the LAN and intend insstalling an XP Pro PC and broadband at the book keepers home.
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 Authentication from SBS, how do we achieve similar ease of connectivity using just 2 PC's?
We've got several user accounts setup on XP Pro with Fast User Switching enabled. 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.
A 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.
I've just installed a netgear DG834B asdl/router. I have a desktop and laptop connected wirelessly. I was wondering how and if I can use the remote desktop, or do they both have to be on a proper network. They are connected to the router but not to each other.
I 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?
I try to ctrl-c copy text from my remote w2k terminal server and ctrl-v paste to my local application. It does not work. I use xp remote desktop on my local. What did I do wrong.
I 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.
I 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.
