Good Morning,
I am trying to help a customer at a satillite office in DC. She sent an
invite from her XP Pro laptop via the file option to me and I attempted to
connect to her via my Vista Ultimate laptop.
She is behind a VPN/Firewall with DHCP enabled and ports 135 and 3389
allowed for passthrough. Her windows firewall has Remote Assistance, Ports
135/3389 and Rem. Desktop set as exceptions and her Remote Tab under System
Properites has allow Remote Assistance to be sent from as well as allow this
computer to be controlled remotely.
I everytime I attempt to connect, I get and error, "The connection failed
because the user may have logged out of remote assitance."
I have never heard of an error like this before. I am also behine a
firewall...but all of our other techs can access other machines off the
network with remote assistance fine. However, I am the only one using vista.
ANy thoughts as to what the problem may be or other settings I may have
overlooked? Oh and they connect to their home network via a VPN and have no
server onsite that would need configuring...and the VPN is disconnected
before I attempt to connect.
