Home network works great, remote desktop will not connect.

I have a Windows 7 laptop and a Vista laptop. They are connected to a secure wireless network. Both work very well as standalones. When I try to connect via Remote Desktop or connect with each other. My 7 is in a homegroup with a single name. My Vista is in a WORKING group with the same name. I can't connect either using remote desktop. Computer for both names are names of a single word, 'XXXXXX', not the format xxx.xxxxx.xxxx and I can't figure another way to their name. I spent 2 days serching various tech forums and tried what they suggested.

Hello

Homegroup is a unique feature of Win 7. It uses IPv6.

As you connect to Vista you must configure Windows 7 to the home network.

------------------------------------

Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

------------------
Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  • Network of shortcuts on the desktop will not connect to documents

    I have shortcuts on my Vista desktop to the word "Networking" & excel files that I use all the time.  When I click on the shortcut, my computer says that the file is not found.  If I go through 'my computer' to connect to the file, everything is fine.  This problem is also the problem that I posted on another forum with no response yet:

    Running Vista Business & Office 2007 on a Server 2003 domain.  When I access a 'network' (in Word or Excel) file, and then close the file, I'm unable to re - open the file... I get the message ' document is currently in use, try again later ".  Also, if I open a file, make changes and try to save it under the same name, I get the same message.  I have this problem until last Monday... like a switch has been turned upside down or something.  Any ideas?  I am connected to my workstation which is located in an area (I'm not directly connected to the domain).   This configuration running on all my machines Vista and do not have the problem on a different workstation.  Also the Quickbooks will not open the file of our networked society, workstation does not recognize the network as a QB file file.  Can someone HELP me with this.  My workstation, at this point, is essentially worthless.  I am unable to work on any network files.

    Hello cwil0710,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  What antivirus do you use?  I suggest not including mapped drive in your virus scanner settings.  Did you install any software or update straight from the software before you start the meeting this problem?

  • Remote Desktop is not connecting

    I am trying to connect to a computer on my home network running W7 Professional using DRC. It is the only station that does not accept the connection. All are part of a domain. Is there a domain server. Symantic End Point Protection a firewall (firewall W7 is therefore off). My connection to the DRC is triggered by a W7 Ultimate station within the domain and specifies a port [STATION02:3390]. The router sends port 3390 to this post, and I get a good test of the router for this port. DRC is switched on to STATION02. I tried with and without network authentication. I tried to disable Ms. My domain name is called at the HOUSE and I entered my user name as an authorized user of the DRC on the host: HOME\richard and HOME\Domain users. All other computers on the network can RDC to each other, except STATION02 does not login as a host. I am stumpted and would appreciate help. Is there an area of setting I'm missing? Thank you.

  • Remote Desktop does not connect Win 7 on Win XP pro.

    The two turned on, remote active and available on the same network. I tried to connect by the name and Ip address, but I still get the error message. Remote Desktop cannot connect to one of these reasons: 1 remote control, access to the server is not activated 2 remote computer is disabled 3 remote computer is not available on the network.   I have connected before. In fact, I went to my computer in a click with the right button on the computer in the access network, it could not connect. He gave me the opportunity to diagnose the problem, so I chose it. The result of the diagnosis was the computer appears to be correctly configured but (computer) does not. I recently, during the last week, the object a new copy of windows xp pro on the computer and I have connected with access to distance since.  Why can't connect now?

    Check your firewall and router, the remote desktop protocol uses port 3389, this port must be opened.

  • HP 7520: HP 7520 will not connect to the wireless network

    There is some additional information to

    http://forums.Xfinity.com/T5/home-networking-router-WiFi/HP-7520-will-not-connect-to-wireless-networ...

    on this issue.

    Have several APs for a single wireless network allows the printer foolish law.  (Not a Repeater, a second AP connected to the local network with the same configuration of network for security, etc.).

    I solved this problem.  In accordance with the discussion on the link, the problem is that the printer cannot connect to a wireless network if there is greater than 1 for a wireless network (SSID) name wireless access point.

    This thread has had several useful suggestions, but what finally solved the problem, it's the second point has access to a mode where I can create a 'virtual' access point and, above all, a SSID associated.

    Note that not all access points or routers support virtual APs, but this function seems to be more common over time.  Older models is not able to do that.  However, a new access point is sometimes cheaper than a new printer.

    If you do not understand the jargon in the procedure below, I recommend that you find someone who does, then they can do it for you.

    Solution:

    1. On one of the wireless access on the network, create an a new virtual AP with a slightly different name SSID (for example < name of the network - > _1), on the same VLAN (usually VLAN 1).  You may need to put the AP in "multiple AP mode" or something similar, and then restart the AP.  All other settings (DHCP, security, mixed mode b/g/n, etc.) must be the same for the new SSID.
    2. Run the printer Wireless Setup and connect it to this new SSID
    3. Confirm that the printer can be seen by other devices on the network

    Tips:

    • Check the security is the same as the original SSID, Alternatively you can create a vector of insecurity in your network.  Do not WEP-128 when the other SSID uses WPA2 AES, for example.
    • The AP I had had several resets to make it work because of the mode and parameter changes.
    • If you connect the SSID but cannot connect to or be seen by anything on your network, check the new SSID/AP is in the same VLAN as the original.
    • Because the printer is not roaming, and the speed is not a problem for me, I used the access point that could support this solution, which is deeper and slower than my primary AP.  I have not noticed any problems.

    The printer has been reliable on the wireless now on the new SSID, 48 hours.

    I have not upgraded any software on a client of the printer (PC, Mac, phones).

    I think that it is a positive confirmation that the problem is with the implementation of the printer of the stack of network and not with the driver or client software on remote devices.  The 802.11 protocols provide for a network name (SSID) wireless with several access points using different MAC addresses.  I suggest this HP look into this as a potential bug with their network printer for the 7520 protocols stack.
