Hi -
I am trying to use RDC on my network at home so that I can access my main
home machine from my office at work. I have done everything that I have read
about to make sure that RDC is enabled, but still receive the following
message:
'The Client could not connect to the remote comptuer.
Remote Connection might not be...
I have attempted to do port forwarding (via my Netgear MR314 Router) - Start
Port 3389 - end port 3389 and identifying the address/Server IP Address
(192.168.0.n) of my local machine I want to be able to access, but no luck.
I have checked the firewall and have checked (and rechecked) that the remote
desktop is selected (note, I even Unchecked ICFand still no luck).
I have spent a bunch of time trying and double checking the various
suggestions in some of the other posts, but it appears that most folks don't
have this problem much.
I am running XP Pro SP1 on the machine I am trying to hit.
To try to establish the connection, I use the RD Connection program and have
tried hitting my home box from one of my other computers with both the REAL
ip address of my network/internet connection at home and using the name of my
machine via DynDNS. (I have double checked the IP Address at home). The
error is always the same - Client could not connect ...
Am I just missing something really easy or totally confused? Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much
