  • Problems to use remote desktop in an ad hoc network.

    Hello
    I want to control my desktop with my Tablet - both running windows 7 but I'm having a few problems.
    First, I create an ad hoc network on one computer and connect with each other via the wireless. No problem - I drop part I activate the remote desktop on both computers. In the system, I authorize remote connections on both computers and have tried the two authentication network-level and 'everything' version of the remote desktop.  What happens is this, I get a warning that this is not a recognized certificate but continue anyway, so I give the password for the office, and then the screen turns white and then changes to the start screen where I have to reconnect and disconects of Wi - Fi ad-hoc... advice?

  • 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.

  • How can I use Remote Desktop connection to connect to my work computer?

    original title: Remote Desktop

    I have a computer with XP and Vista Home edition to the Home Office. From time to time, I would like to connect to my system to the home from work. Vista allows me to check a place to 'allow remote desktop', but don't tell me how to connect actually. Any thoughts?

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

  • How can I remote desktop not computer field of work.

    I have an office with two computers (Windows 7 Pro) on the same router connected by a working group that I put in place so that they can share hard drives.

    I am trying to use remote desktop to work at home (also Windows 7 Pro), but is not able to connect. I have the correct IP address for the desktop computer, and its settings are
    "Allow Assistance connections to this computer remotely.
    "Allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop" I want to change to the more secure option.

    How can I implement the Office remote to work on the desktop computer at home?

    Or,

    Is their anyway I can have my computer at home join the task force at the office, I created?

    Thank you
    -Mike

    Please note that I can't use Teamviewer because if I'm not at the office, no one else will have.

    No problem, I understand.  My use is personal, so I use the freebie version.  But for remote desktop, it is not too difficult, takes just several steps during the installation of the first, although it has a small caveat that your internet service provider could change your external IP address and you wouldn't be able to connect until you find what's news.  It's probably rare.  Even on my home connection, Cox Cable here almost never changes my IP address.  And with most Internet accounts business, the hard provider agrees to not change.

    Here is the process.  It varies depending on your router (I use a Linksys router at a low price, but it is very similar).

    1. First, give the computer (desktop PC) connect a static IP address.
      This page explains how, in probably as more details you want :)
    2. Tell your router to forward incoming remote desktop connections to this internal IP.
      Log into your router and look for Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding.  It is usually easy to spot. Mine is below, and you can see entering 3389 connections (you can specify a range for RDP one is enough, so my range is just a single port) and transfer them to my address interne.104.  Click here to see a larger version of this image.

    3. Find out what are the external IP address of your office.
      In the settings of your router, or just ask Bing "what is my IP address?" , you can dig around your desktop computer.

    That's all.  Later, when you want to connect to your desktop computer, you will use the external IP address of the internet connection of your office, and the router will forward this application on the computer that you want to achieve.

    If you want to be able to connect to multiple computers, you can set another computer to use a different number of port instead of 3389 (official Microsoft here) and do the same steps to transfer 3390 to the other computer.  Later, when you want to connect to the other computer, type your IP as the IP: port, such as 11.11.11.11:3390 and it will connect to the other computer.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mouse Bluetooth stops working when you use Remote Desktop

    Hello, I have a Dell i7 using Windows 8 and a comfort Sculpt bluetooth mouse.  The two work together well, but when I use remote desktop, the mouse stops working.  I have checked the logs of windows, but don't see anything apparent that would explain the bluetooth mouse to stop working with RDP.  Is this a known issue?  And is there a known solution?

    Hi Sharief, thanks for the quick response!  I think that I could find my own solution to the problem.  I ended up remove the bluetooth driver that came with my Dell laptop and allowed the Microsoft Generic bluetooth driver to take charge.  The mouse now works like a charm, especially when I am using RDP.   I did have a problem again on the generic driver.  Thanks again!

  • 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
