Guest Eric Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am trying to connect to an XP Pro machine from a Vista Home Premiuim machine via Remote Desktop Connection. It works just fine behind my router or without it when I try to connect from a Windows 2000 machine. So that leaves me with the indication that there is a setting in Vista that is blocking it. I get the message "can't connect to the remote computer." Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop in Vista I forget does Vista's firewall prevent outgoing calls as well? I don't seem to have any issues with Vista going to WinXP that I can think of or vice versa. -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "Eric" <Eric@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:33247F9E-62C5-4F6F-B91D-7BBE05809648@microsoft.com... >I am trying to connect to an XP Pro machine from a Vista Home Premiuim > machine via Remote Desktop Connection.

Guest Jon Wallace Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop in Vista As Jeff said - I would check the firewall to see that nothing's blocked going out... I would also see if you have any other software such as anti-virus that contains a firewall component that could be stopping it...
