I'm new to this forum, so hopefully I've got this question in the right place!
I have 3 computers that are all in different locations, one at work, one at
home, and one at another office.
Remote desktop connection has always worked for me from the 3rd location
(office), no matter what computer I need to connect to, I've never had
problems connecting to other computers from this location.
However, now, my home computer & work computer will not remote connect to
the office computer. I have windows firewall on all three computers, with
exceptions (Remote Desktop). One thing I have noticed though about my office
computer, is when I bring up System Properties (under My Computer), and I
click Remote, only the Remote Assistance (allow remote assistance invitations
to be sent from this computer) is showing, nothing about Remote Desktop
Connection (allow users to connect remotely to this computer). Also, each
computer has a password for each user.
The error message I get when I try to connect to the office computer is:
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.
Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur,
contact your administrator.
I have reset all three modems, as well I have restarted all three computers.
I have also called my internet provider about connections, they have checked
all three locations, and everything seems fine. All three computers have the
same type of internet service.
Also, the work computer is windows xp, home computer is windows vista,
office computer is windows xp.
Oh, and for the office computer, the sleep/hibernation mode is set to never.
Sorry this post is so long!
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thank-you.
