Connection to the remote computer problems

Have XP Pro on work and home computers. Monitoring the windows XP start using remote desktop info. Computer work defined as host, trying to connect remote, after putting in the name of the computer to work, I get "unknown parameter was specified in the computer name field.  How can I connect to my work computer?

Hi Raider2118,

· What is the work computer protected by password?

· Is the work computer have to plan together?

When you connect to another computer using Remote Desktop connection when you specify ComputerName/console in the computer box, and then you click Connect note ComputerName is the name of the remote computer to which you want to connect.

To get the name of the computer navigate to the location below:

a. Click Start, right click my computer

b. click Properties

c. Select the computer name tab

If you have tried the steps above and then temporarily disable the security software on the computer and then try to connect to the computer and check the results.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • PC migration - converter could not connect to the remote computer. A general error occurred: unknown internal error

    Hello

    I am brand new to fusion m v so forgive me if I miss useful information of the first post time around.

    I try to use migrate your PC, feature of VM Fusion 8 but I see the error in the title of the topic when I try to start the import operation.

    I have disabled the firewall on the PC and MAC

    I tried over ethernet and direct connections

    When I run the migration of PC Windows tool, he complains that UAC is enabled even if it is not (confirmed via Control Panel and evolution via the command prompt)

    When you try to migrate, it accepts the PIN and then shows a warning on this certificate, that I choose to browse

    He will then ask admin username/pass on the PC (I tried my only regular and also tried setting a new admin user and try this)

    After that, I see the error: the migration of PC - Converter could not connect to the remote computer. A general error occurred: unknown internal error

    Should I keep trying to get this working, or that it will be more easy to find a way less direct to turn the PC to a virtual machine on the Mac?

    I found the logs on mac and have posted what I think is the appropriate one below, but not really sure:

  • Error "Failed to connect to the remote computer" VMware View Client

    Hello everyone. I'm currently testing the package VMware view, but stuck on a problem, I can't understand.  I have already tried Googling every possible thing, but still came short on what to do.

    Currently I have:

    Server ESXi 3.5

    -vCenter Server

    -Connection to the server

    -3 swimming pools installed individual office xp host w/view agents

    At the moment, I seemed straight installation because I am able to connect using VMware client/portal with any full blown windows box anywhere in the internal network.  The problem I have is when I try to load the client software VMware view on a HP Neoware e90 box running windows xp embedded.  When I loaded the software and try to connect, I get the address connection server, authentication screen passes, but receives the error "the connection to the remote computer failed" when I try to select one of the desktop images in the list.

    I am capable of everything everywhere, ping from thin client to conn. Server, thin client desktop image and vice versa.  I am also able to RDP in the desktop images in the light client area but just can't understand why it won't pass this error above.  I tried to disable the firewall on everything, but it still doesn't seem to work.  Am I missing a simple step or has someone else has encountered this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    When you have disabled the firewall was that the firewall or service / network level? If it was at the level of the network, then you must disable the service and stop it. If you have the service, then can you get the logs of the client and post them. Often this info can indicate where he is faced with a problem.
