"Error 720: a connection to the remote computer could not be established.

Earlier, it was working fine. One day it stopped working. I don't write my windows key and the serial number of HP for reasons of confidentiality, but it is authentic.

I use Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop HP bought 4 months ago. While trying to connect to internet through my USB data card (I use Auntie Photon +) I get an error message "error 720: a connection to the remote computer could not be established. When I connect the same device to another laptop, it works fine. The USB card company suggests that it is a matter of TCP/IP and I need my OS resintall. I don't have any CD of windows with my HP laptop. I tried to restore my machine, but that did not help. Please help me.

  • 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.

    It depends on how the computers are connected and their intellectual property regime.

    They are on the same network (e.g., connected to the same router)?

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

  • I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    You get the error "a Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer could not be resolved" when the requesting computer (the computer 'demand' help) sends its private IP address instead of its public IP address in the request for assistance. The solution is 'easy' for some and difficult for others. I present here for your perusal:

    (1) obtain the public IP address of the requesting computer (by visiting a web page such as http://www.whatismyip.com)
    (2) save the remote assistance request computers
    (3) modify the remote request for Assistance (RcBuddy.MsRcIncident) using a text editor (such as notepad) and replace the private - section of IP address should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,192.168.1.33:3389 «»
    with the public IP address from whatismyip.com or elsewhere - should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,74.125.47.147:3389 «»
    (4) save the file of RcBuddy.MsRcIncident 'new '.
    (5) double click it to connect to the computer needing help
    (6) cross your fingers and hope it works!

  • 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:
