  If the computers aren't on the same network and and/or that the network is not along the NetBIOS name - then you will need to use the IP address or some form of dynamic DNS.  The alternative would be to change your HOSTS file so that you can give the name you want and not have to remember the IP address that is now associated with that name in the HOSTS file.

• How can I use remote desktop to control my PC at home from my Surface?

  I tried searching for an answer, but all the "tutorials" are non-specific in the one area that I do not understand.

  I want to do is be able to use my tablet of Microsoft Surface of anywhere I have internet and use it to control my PC in Windows 8. Which doesn't seem to be the object of the Remote Desktop application, correct? Now, I have enabled Remote Desktop connections in Control Panel and have the application installed on my surface and they both use the same Live ID, but the next step listed is just 'type the name or IP address of the computer"and none of these tutorials explain how to know exactly what one of these things is. I tried to get the name I gave the computer, which also appeared on the window that I learned to remote connection settings, but nothing happened, and to be honest I don't know why he would do. There are a large number of computers on the internet and I don't see anything that would prevent me to a share with a different device name. On the other hand, rather too many results the app can't find.

  I thought then that I would try an IP address, but for some reason whatismyip.com said he did not know. It's probably something on the router and maybe the reason why the previous attempt failed, but I don't have control of the router, so if that's the case then I need an alternative.

  I'll also accept other software that would make it easier, let's just connect from these two devices and selecting from a list, but I have to be able to be controlled from a device Windows RT (I don't need to go the other way, and I do not think that that is supported anyway). Feel free to just suggest something even if you don't know it will work around the problem, it is not necessarily reproducible on your system, so the only way to know is to try it.

• Try to use remote desktop to connect to a computer in safe mode with networking

  I'm trying to troubleshoot a remotley pc on the network using remote desktop. I can connect properly, however, I want to continue to solve the problems with the pc remote in safe mode. When I choose to restart the pc in safe mode with network remote I am unable to connect to this computer by using remote desktop. Is there a certain config that I need to put in place inside msconfig which will restart in safe mode and I would still like access to connect to this computer by using remote desktop. Thank you.

  Hello

  Assuming this isn't a general network problem (such as restarting changes to the local IP address on the remote computer).

  Maybe this can help.

• Cannot print using Remote Desktop connection

  I have a computer that we will called XP. XP was XP loaded on this subject. It is on a home network with ethernet etc. It has a USB Samsung CLP315 printer attached to it, which we will call SAMSUNG.  XP print SAMSUNG without any problem. SAMSUNG is shared and has the latest drivers.

  Configuration on XP
  Pilot # is 3.04.85:44
  Port: USB001 virtual printer for USB Port
  Sharing installed additional drivers Intel environment Windows 2000 or XP

  Using Remote Desktop connection, I connect to my computer at work, that we will call the WORK that has Windows 7 above and is part of a local network. When you use Word for example on WORK, I should be able to print on SAMSUNG on XP. However SAMSUNG on XP does not present as a printer available. However, I can print from JOB printers shared on the local network or locally connected. Unfortunately, it is of limited use to me because I can not physically get the printed paper, or to know if the printed page correctly until the next day, I get to work.

  I have the Settings Options on the remote desktop connection when I connect XP to WORK remotely. I think that this complies with the info I found on the knowledge base.

  On the general tab, I have the correct name of the computer and user. I have "allow me to save credentials" deselected.

  Local "resources" tab, "materials and resources local printers" and "Clipboard" are selected. Under 'More', 'smart cards' and 'Cards series' are selected. Similarly 'Readers' and 'Supported peripheral Plug - n Play' and their subitems are all selected.

  Tab programs not specified

  If there is other information in the options that may be relevant, please advise and I will detail later.

  Already XP used to via the desktop connection to remotely connect to another computer to WORK which took place of XP. When I'd do things on the WORK and wanted to print with SAMSUNG on XP, SAMSUNG has shown on the list of available printers and would print WORK jobs

  On the local network at the office, WORK is connected and print to a shared printer on a computer showroom (XP) which is identical to the SAMSUNG for model # and driver. So by my way of thinking, the driver is already loaded and functioning.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Want to access another computer on Windows 7 using Remote Desktop connection

  Dear member of the community,

  I have 2 desktops, one with 10 windows and more with windows 7. Now I want remote access to the computer windows 10 windows 7 without logging on the computer windows 10. Kindly, guide me for the same thing.

  Hello Alice,.

  I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

  The computers are connected to a domain network?

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  I also appreciate that fact that you want to access 10 Windows in Windows 7 remotely.

  With Remote Desktop connection, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that is connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of the programs, files, and network resources from your computer on your computer at home, and it's just that you are sitting in front of your computer at work.

  To connect to a remote computer that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled and you must have access to the network to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. To obtain permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to search the name of the computer you are connecting to and to make sure that Remote Desktop connections are allowed through the firewall.

  I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

• Sound when you use remote desktop...

  Hi all.  I am glad that I found this forum.  In any case, I was FINALLY able to connect to my desktop, Windows XP Pro, using remote desktop, since my laptop Vista Home Premium, but I can't get sound from my desktop for work.  This was the reason why I wanted to log in because my office has an impressive system of 5.1 speakers and we ALL know what kind of sound, a laptop... lol.  I want to be able to play music on the desk while I work on the laptop. I get the sound through the laptop here, but I can't figure out how to have the opposite effect.  I noticed on the office, he says he uses the audio device of RDP and I even tried accepts for the Realtek device but nothing helped.

  Is it possible that I can hear my music on my desktop?

  Please, it would be SO awesome!

  Thanking you in advance,
  Karen

  Ok. Open the desktop connection remote [DRC] on your mobile client DRC and select Options > local resources. Configure the remote computer to allow for the remote computer.

  Depending on which version of the client DRC the wording may be slightly different. In the distant past of the people also reported need to launch audio player function, IE. Media Player for example, on the DRC host PC before connecting to her customer's DRC PC/computer laptop.

• Impossible to copy and paste from/to XP using remote desktop

  Due to problems, I have recently reinstalled Vista on my pc.  Before the reinstall, I could access my PC using XP, using remote desktop from work to distance and copy and paste the files from XP and Vista.

  Since the reinstallation, I'm not able to copy/paste unless I have turn off UAC.  (I have progbably had turned off before, but he didn't.)  Is there a way to copy and paste them to work without disabling UAC?  Maybe some changes in the policy or registry?

  Note: I use Remote Desktop with Clipboard selected for local devices and resources.

  TIA.

  Janis

  I saw this thread earlier and it does not apply.  I would say the copy/paste of text works.  I can't copy and paste a file.  UAC seems to be the key here.

  I found a work around.   I connect with a local drive.  Since the remote desktop, I can copy files to the local disk, which then I have the file available locally and I can go other directions.  It's a little slow, but it works for now.

• Error trying to use remote desktop.

  I'm having a repeatable error trying to use remote desktop in Windows 7 Pro.

  The error I get is:

  Your computer could not connect to another session from the console on the remote computer, because you already have a current console session.

  I don't have sssion another current.  I get this error right after a fresh reboot.  A Mater of fact due to multiple problems, I got with a new computer, I have re-installed Windows on another hard drive to make sure that everything was fresh.  I get the same error.

  I am connected with administrator privileges and I got this error the first time I tried to establish a session.  It's the same problem I had with the other installation of Windows.  Can someone point me to a solution?  I'm relatively new to versions of Windows 7, but not at the earliest.

  Thanks to all who can help.

• Equium L40 - Vista - BSOD using remote desktop

  Hello

  I have been using my laptop to connect to an XP machine using remote desktop. In recent weeks, the laptop began to blue screen and stop. There is no reason to set, the only thing I noticed, is that if I have IE open on the satellite, it seems blue screen rather sooner than later.

  I did used such as the reduction of the resolution and the number of colors are imported from the XP, smooting fonts wallpaper, Wallpapers etc.

  Still freezes however.

  Any thoughts?

  Wireless driver is fully updated...

  Hello

  In your case, it is really not easy to say why the BSOD appears
  But I would exclude the hardware problem and would tend to the issue of the software

  It seems a Vista and the XP operating system should communicate together eventually it s a Vista problem?  :| I have read several articles on the Vista bugs and to be honest it possible s that and patch is necessary

  I would really recommend update Vista to the last State. Find all patches and fixes. In addition, you must know that the Vista service pack 1 is now available.
  This time it s that a BETA version and the final version will be available in the coming weeks

• Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

  I have a Pavilion e9270t desktop, Win7 Pro SP1, and I want to connect 3 HARD drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

  Thanks, CHemming

  CHemming,

  I've not seen UEIF support in the existing BIOS.

  If your demand on a 3T led, re - consider a maximum of 2 T.

  If you ask to have 3 hard disks, then you can do it without harassing the present cable of CD.

  The cage of your system hard disk will support 3 hard disks. Manual upgrade service

  All you need are the SATA data and power cables. Your Board has 4 SATA data ports.

  When you report back after inspecting your system for SATA power cables, I will move the cables and adapters, if necessary.

  You must install the SSL certificate before connect you to the Regional service, the easiest way is to go to "desktop" IE10 open, go to the exchange server web access page, click on the notification of "certificate error" red and view / install the store "certificate authorities roots of trust." Then, make sure that your surface RT complies with the minimum requirements of security then connect to the exchange via the mail application server.

• Can I use my desktop on multiple computers applications?

  I just wanted to know exactly how many licenses you are given with each product. Can I use my desktop on multiple computers applications? Or if I'm without one of my computers (i.e. it breaks etc.) can I download my apps on another computer under my plan of creative cloud?

  You have 2 allowances of use / connections / activations that may be active. If a computer breaks without being able to log out, you must contact the support so they can reset the counter.
