We are trying to run Remote Desktop Connection across a simple
workgroup/LAN. We have Win XP computers on this LAN running RDC fine. But
the two computers that have been upgraded to Vista Ultimate are no longer
able to use RDC. (For what it is worth, they are not really "upgrades",
since we wiped the disks before installing Vista.)
So far, on the Vista Ultimate computers:
1) On Control Panel | Advanced System Settings | Remote | Remote Desktop ...
selected "Allow connections from computers running any version..."
2) In Windows Live OnceCare... Change OneCare Settings | Firewall |
Advanced Settings | Sharing...
-- "If files and printers are shared..." I select "Only share then with
computers my local network
-- "I enabled, allow Remote Desktop connections to this computer from:"
.... I selected "All computers, including those on the internet"
When try to connect from Vista computer to the other via RDC, I get this
error: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try
connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote
computer or your network administrator." (That advice doesnt help me much,
since I am the owner and the "network admin".
Cheers, Bruce
