Can't rdp in Vista

[Guest Smiley]

Hi,

 

Don't seem to find a group for Vista rdp. If wrong forum, please let me

know.

 

 

I have two similar problem. I am sure when one is resolve the other will

follow.

 

One with Vista Home premium, one with Vista Business premium. Can't rdp into

either of those machines. Received the following error : The client could

not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled

or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also

possible that network problems are preventing your connection.

 

1. add port 3389 to Exception in firewall on the machine to be rdp in.

2. on the remote tab on my computer properties setting. allow remote logon.

 

Any idea what else I have missed???

 

 

Any help appreciated.

Re: Can't rdp in Vista

 

A couple of groups you might want to try:

 

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

 

I assume you aren't using Small Business Server. 3389 isn't necessary to

open on the Firewall if you enable Remote Desktop. The exception is being

added by default and you should be able to see it under 'Exceptions'. As far

as Vista Home Premium goes, if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't support inbound

RDP connections. For the Vista Business you should be able to connect to

it. Take a look at he following article and see if it helps

Home Premium - no RDP. Period.

 

Business - enable in Remote Tab, System Properties. AND make sure to check

the box that allows unsecured, downlevel connections.

Re: Can't rdp in Vista

 

Well, the exact tab which I used was

 

COMPUTER properties --> REMOTE SETTING --> REMOTE tab and checked the

following :

1. allow remote assitant connect to this computer

2. in the ADVANCE button allow this computer to be controlled remotely

 

Update on after posting the first message.

From NETWORK --> click on the network name (which is a wireless

connection) --> Properties --> SHARE tab, checked the following

1. Allow other network user to connect throught this computer's internet

connection.

2. This already checked and grey out before the 1 was checked. Allow other

netwrok user to control or disable the selected internet connection.

 

When the later was checked and rpd in from xp machine or sbs 2003 or windows

2003 server, the following error 'The remote connection has time out' other

then this error keep coming up, nothing else happened - just cannot connect.

 

Any thought ?

In the first case your mixing Remote Assistance with Remote Desktop. As

noted by other Vista Home Premium or Basic can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop

host. You might look at using UltraVNC as an alternative.

 

As far as Vista Business is concerned if your trying to connect from XP or

earlier make sure you have the Vista host configured like this...

....and the XP or earlier client configured like this...

 

http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/ScreenShots/XP/RDP6-XPClientSettings.jpg

 

It sounds like your trying to connect through a VPN? Is that true? Can you

ping the Vista host when you connected to the VPN? Perhaps you should

describe the network the Vista Business host computer is on, ie. in a

domain, behind a firewall, etc...etc...
