Hi, a friend is using a PC w/ XP Home, Comcast Internet connection, Cisco
VPN Client, Real Secure Desktop Protector firewall and AVG virus detection
software. She routinely connected to the company's remote server. About
three weeks ago the PC lost its ability connect to the remote. server.
Today, while at work, I had her log onto a PC at work, then using a Cisco
VPN client and Remote Desktop she was able to connect to the remote server
w/o difficulty.
On her home PC the Cisco VPN Client works as it should but Remote Desktop
will not connect to the remote server.
It times out w/ a generic message stating check remote desktop settings.
Remote Desktop settings appear to be the same
as those that work on other PCs. She reports the problem began about three
weeks ago.
After reviewing the AVG virus log I noticed the Trojan popinslite.exe
(trojan horse downloader generic?.oxz.
was deleted on 10/01/03. I updated Spybot and ran it which deleted five
other Trojans but I don't have the names with me.
Any idea how I can diagnose the Remote Desktop problem and fix it?
Thanks,
Mike.
