• XP Remote Desktop cannot connect to Windows 7: error 0xc00002fd

  I use Remote Desktop 6.1.7600 on Windows XP sp3 on two different computers and I am trying to connect to a Windows 7 machine on the same domain of one of them.  On the first machine to XP, I have several times a 0xC00002fd error "an authentication error has occurred" when you try to connect to the Windows 7 computer.  On the second XP machine I'm simply asked to password and user id several times.  On both XP machines I have activated CredSSP according to MS kb article 951608.  I'm an admin on the Windows 7 machine and uses my own credentials to connect.  This connection has worked in the past at least one of these XP machines and now all of a sudden it does not, or only intermittently.  Dr Mac OSX version seems to work perfectly.  This makes me wonder if there was an update on the XP side that makes CredSSP work correctly?

• Windows Server 2003 r2 64-bit Remote Desktop RDP connection does not

  Hello

  I went through most of the support guides I can find on the internet and nothing seems to work.

  I enabled and disabled the service. Enabled and disabled Internet connection sharing. I totally disabled the firewall on the server and I can not always connect to the server via RDP

  I only get an error message.

  Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

  (1) remote access to the server is not enabled

  (2) the remote computer is disabled

  (3) the remote computer is not available on the network

  Make sure that the remote computer is on and connected to the network, and remote access is enabled.

  When should I wear analysis server there is no enabled 3389 port. I am using RDP just for administrative purposes. I used to connect to the machine via RDP but one day it just stopped working.

  I also checked a few updates selection to determine if they are installed. All updates that might have compatibility problems are not installed on the server.

  Any request for information will be answered promptly.

  Thanks in advance.

• Difficulty accessing 1 remote desktop when connected with VPN

  Hello world

  I have an ASA 5505 and have a problem where when I connect via VPN, I can RDP into a server using its internal address but I can't RDP to another server using its internal address.

  One that I can connect to a an IP of 192.168.2.10 and I can't connect to a a 192.168.2.11 on 3390 port IP address.

  The two rules are configured exactly the same except for the IP addresses and I can't see why I can't connect to this server.

  I am also able to connect to my camera system with an IP on port 37777 192.168.2.25 and able to ping any other device on the network internal.

  I also tried ping he and Telnet to port 3390 without success.

  Ok

  So, basically, you set up the router so that you can directly connect to the ASA using the Cisco VPN Client. And also, the goal was ultimately only allow traffic to the LAN through the VPN Client ONLY connection.

  It seems to me to realize that you have only the following configurations of NAT

  VPN Client NAT0 / free of NAT / identity NAT

  the object of the LAN network

  Subnet 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

  network of the VPN-POOL object

  subnet 10.1.1.128 255.255.255.128

  NAT static destination LAN LAN (indoor, outdoor) static source VPN-VPN-POOL

  The NAT configuration above is simply to tell the ASA who don't do any type of NAT when there is traffic between the network 192.168.2.0/24 LAN and VPN 10.1.1.128/25 pool. That way if you have additional hosts on the local network that needs to be connected to, you won't have to do any form of changes to the NAT configurations for customer VPN users. You simply to allow connections in the ACL list (explained further below)

  Failure to PAT

  object-group network by DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE

  object-network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

  NAT automatic interface after (indoor, outdoor) dynamic source by DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE

  This configuration is intended just to replace the previous rule of PAT dynamic on the SAA. I guess that your router will do the translation of the ASA "outside" IP address of the interface to the public IP address of routers and this configuration should allow normal use of the Internet from the local network.

  I suggest you remove all other NAT configurations, before adding these.

  Control of the VPN clients access to internal resources

  Also, I assume that your current VPN client is configured as full Tunnel. In other words, it will tunnel all traffic to the VPN connection, so that its assets?

  To control traffic from the VPN Client users, I would suggest that you do the following

  • Set up "no sysopt permit vpn connection"
    • This will change the ASA operation so that connections through a VPN connection NOT allowed by default in order to bypass the ACL 'outside' interface. So, after this change, you can allow connections you need in the 'outer' interface ACL.
  • Configure rules you need for connections from VPN clients to the "external" ACL interface. Although I guess they already exist as you connect there without the VPN also

  I can't say this with 100% certainty, but it seems to me that the things above, you should get to the point where you can access internal resources ONLY after when you have connected to the ASA via the connection of the VPN client. Naturally take precautions like backups of configuration if you want to major configuration changes. If you manage remotely the ASA then you also also have the ability to configure a timer on the SAA, whereupon it recharges automatically. This could help in situations where a missconfiguration breaks you management connection and you don't have another way to connect remotely. Then the ASA would simply restart after that timer missed and also restart with the original configuration (as long as you did not record anything between the two)

  Why you use a different port for the other devices RDP connection? I can understand it if its use through the Internet, but if the RDP connection would be used by the VPN Client only so I don't think that it is not necessary to manipulate the default port 3389 on the server or on the SAA.

  Also of course if there is something on the side of real server preventing these connections then these configuration changes may not help at all.

  Let me know if I understood something wrong

• Remote Desktop issues connecting from home to work the computer in Windows XP. Remote Desktop stops responding and eventually disconnects.

  Just around the beginning of July (2011) I started to have remote Office questions when connecting from home to work. If I minimize the connection for a while and come back later, it will be often does not. I'll have to hit the close X button several times before, he ends by abruptly disconnects. By the sudden I want to say that I don't get no dialogue usual warning that the session will be disconnected.

  Also, sometimes when I connect I get a white screen instead of a connection window.

  Anyone know if there was a Windows Update, or anything that can cause problems with RDP.

  I used to be able to connect perfectly without any problems.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the public on the TechNet site. Please post your question in the below link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/threads

• I am unable to remote desktop to connect to my laptop

  First of all, I looked through all the troubleshooting options on the microsoft page for troubleshooting remote desktop connection. None of these options worked for me. Even turning the firewall for my laptop worked. My laptop can remote access my office perfectly find it's just the reverse does not work.
  I think the problem is that I can't put my laptop to allow connections. My laptop home premium windows 7 don't have any remote desktop options in the "remote" of System Properties tab. I'm trying to access remotely to this laptop, but I am unable to probably for that reason. When I go to the Remote tab in system properties, all I see is a box for remote assistance and nothing on it as on my desktop, where it shows remote access options.
  Is there any solution for this?

  You have read obviously not what I wrote.

  I actually did, but obviously, you thought that the respondents have the x-ray vision. "You wrote" ""first of all, I looked through all the troubleshooting options on the microsoft page troubleshooting remote desktop connection ' , but then you did not designate one page you may have consulted.

  As long as illustrative, I would say that you did not know that Windows 7 Home Premium machines cannot be the target of a remote desktop session. You need at least the professional version.

• Can I use remote desktop to connect to a desktop PC to perform tasks of high performance?

  I have a spec PC up in one room of the House, used for high-intensity like photo editing functions and games.  I am looking to buy a laptop or a tablet to allow me to do this from other parts, but I am aware that the laptop will have to be high technique to do so at the same level.

  I wanted to ask what will happen if I logged on the desktop via the desktop PC Windows remote.  That would allow me to edit photos or play games using the spec of the PC or it automatically pick up the specifications of the laptop and run programs using this information?

  If it's this one, can anyone recommend an alternative?  I was wondering if a touch screen wireless or wireless monitor and a mouse that could pick up connection around the House might work?

  Hope it makes sense.

• 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.

• Unable to connect to the VPN from work

  Hello

  I read in some previous posts, but were not lucky enough to connect to the company VPN to work.  I can sucessfully connect using a mobile wireless dongle (which uses the mobile network) connected to my computer.  I tried to make sure that everything works.  Unfortaunately I can't conect to work through my LAN VPN server wireless at home.

  I use WRT54G2 linksys router wireless and you have activated the VPN options.

  I ping the VPN server, but I can't connect.  I think that it is unable to authenicate, keep trying, and I just cancel it after a few minutes.

  Any ideas?   It's the router or it could be my access provider (iinet) that block the VPN somehow?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Finally he got to work!

  The problem was due to the modem.  It was blocking the port 500udp.  After configuring my modem to enable port forwarding I could access my work intranet via VPN.

  I have a Belkin MODEL of MODEM ADSL2 + # F5D5730au

  Thanks for your help

• Remote Desktop scrambles my icons according to the work of remote desktop

  I have remote desktop at home on a netbook to my work desk. Without fail, the next time I look at my office work, the icons are rearranged and some are missing. All solutions?

  A workaround that I could suggest is Microsoft, Stardock Corporationpartner.  They make a product called fences that organizes the Windows desktop icons, and I think it is smart arrangement due to changes in resolution.  It's also a free app, so it might be a good target for what you need.

Worked perfectly with signal full and high speed, and then disconnected and can not connect to the router even if you can see it. I can access the internet to update the drivers, anything like that, although I don't think that drivers are the problem that it worked without any problem and suddenly can no longer connect. I bought the computer, so I did a hard reset after among others in an attempt to solve the problem but still the same problem. Router sees, asked me to enter the parade (which I know is correct) tries to connect, but then says cannot connect to this network. I am running Windows 8.1 I think and you have disabled the McAfee Firewall. I don't know what to try now. Thanks in advance

  Able to understand it. For some reason, the option for the lldp microsoft protocol driver has been disabled in the wifi properties. Don't know what this means, but I checked the box, and voila, wifi is back. Hope this helps someone.
