Hi -
I am trying to offer RA to another XP Pro user and can't seem to make our
connection work. I am behind a firewall/NAT device that I can control and
can
even make may machine a DMZ without solveing our connection problem. Both
machines are enabled for RA. When the session is started by the novice with
an invitation from Messenger I can accept it and the novice indicates that
we
are connected but my machine looks the same and gives no indication that the
session is in progress. Where can I go from here to try and debug the
session?
Thanks
 
Hi there -
No luck after opening port 3389. I was able to remotely connect to another
XP pro machine that also has a broadband connection and wonder if the fact
that my Mom is on a dial up connection is what is causing the problem. I get
a message that I have accepted her invitation and waited 10 minutes without
seeing anything change. Connecting to another machine on a fast connection
only too seconds. Is there a way to monitor the progress of establishing a
session to see more clearly where things are stuck?
Thanks
 
Over a dialup link it can take awhile. Does it timeout?

There was no indication that anything was going on at all. We let the whole
thing sit for 15 minutes and gave up.Is there a way to track to distinguish
if it is makeing slow progress or just hung?
