Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:
We are using Windows server 2003 sp2 & windows xp professional sp3. We want to connect to the server using Remote Desktop, but we get the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have enabled remote access on the server & the user is member of admin & users group to the remote desktop on the server. The firewall is turned on & exceptions for port 3389 remote desktop.
Could you please help us on this.

What is happening to all users?
-If you get an error in the TS, then this is a client-side problem.
-Take TCP Dump using wire shark and see who is the RST sendign package.
Look for this error message in google that could give you light...!

Hi all
I'm having a problem on my server running Windows Server 2008 R2.
I can not can not on the remote server by using remote desktop (mstsc).

I even restarted the server, which did not help.

Your computer cannot connect to the remote computer
Hello
OT:
Your computer cannot connect to the remote computer because the remote desktop gateway server address request and the certificate subject name do not match. Contact your network administrator.
I implement the remote desktop session based on Win Server R2 2012.
I create a free sign for certificate certificate and also install the certificate to the client computer.
But when I click on any application it shows me error.

REMOTE DESKTOP cannot connect home via VPN to WORK computer
Hi all
Having problems connecting to the PC of Office WORK PC using remote desktop. Currently, I connect to the WORK PC to WORK laptop with no problems.
Page HOME of PC is a Dell Dimension 4600 Windows XP, version of Microsoft Office Home, ATT, anti-virus Norton 360 Wireless internet service. Work VPN up and running. Set up my computer remote tab in order to allow the communication and remote AUTHORIZED Norton 360 desktop, I can PING my computer work fine.
I run my VPN and connect to function properly the network but when I run the Remote Desktop application, I get "this computer cannot connect to the remote computer."
I know that my work IP address and logon information is exact and know that my work computer is configured to allow remote access because I do this work laptop. I do not understand why my home PC has a problem if the VPN works and I can PING my computer work fine.
Any advice would be appreciated. I looked all over the internet and cannot find additional ideas.
Use teamviewer, it is much easier to understand. And you can give the PC connecting to a fixed password youre. If you do not have to change. Just install on both, give the youre one connecting a password fixed, then log in with the other
Is XP Home or Pro? If it does not support his home desk remotely

Error is the standard:
This computer cannot connect to the remote computer. Try to connect again. If the problem persists...
The error I get in Event Viewer is the layer of security event 56 TermmDD the Terminal Server has detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.
When I disable RDP and remove certificate from the Office is restarted remotely and then restart RDP I get one login before it fails again. It also shows only the download of the certificate on the first computer that connects to try and MOP in. If I try to another, it will not download the certificate.
No matter if I try anyway to RDP with Windows XP, 7, Server 2003, 2008 r2 and I tried all RDP to see if it would at least somehwat work.
All computers on the domain work for RDP is only now a single computer.

I recently installed the version of Norton, after that I was unable to use the internet, I thought it was the Norton firewall settings. After having playing with her for 30 minutes, I gave up and uninstalled Norton. I have disabled the firewall, I have reset the default settings. Here is the message I get when I run a diagnostic. A crazy thing is that I can connect to internet when I connected to this same computer as a guess.
Please help me!
Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP.
This is probably caused by the settings of firewall on this computer.Check the settings of firewall for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FTP port (21).
Hi rhonda9937,
1. what browser you are using to connect to the internet?
It is not recommended to keep Windows Firewall disabled on the computer.
This would happen if the ports are not open in the Windows Firewall.
I suggest that you open ports in Windows Firewall and check if it works.

Whenever I enter my correct password in my windows account it rejects a message and it comes up saying: "you cannot connect because the logon method, you use is not allowed on this computer." See your network administrator for more information. "I can't seem to be able to enable or disable anything because the profile I'm using on my computer is the profile of"Guest ".
Karima,
Applicable to Windows 7.
The following steps require administrator credentials.
- Use the Windows + R or "Run" in the start menu, then type gpedit.msc.
- Navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows settings > local policies > user rights assignment > consider all policies "prohibit the newspaper on" to check if your guest account is listed. Remove account from the list, and you should be fine to continue using your guest profile.
Good luck.

WINDOWS 7 (computer gateway NV53A AMD Phenom II x 3 N830) cannot connect to the internet
Hello!
I bought a Gateway NV53A AMD Phenom II x 3 N830 computer about 1.5 years. It was working great until a couple of days. I was browsing through Facebook and then all of a sudden I had this virus called "Security Scan" and it started to scan my computer and I couldn't stop. I removed this virus with a YouTube video, but since I learned that the virus of my computer is unable to connect to the internet. I have other computers connected to the internet. All of them work properly. In the lower right, I have internet bars and it says that I'm connected to '2wire400' but '2wire400' is not connected to the internet. In addition, on the symbol of the internet, I have a triangle that is yellow with a «!» I tried turning off the modem about 14 times. I did ipfigure cmd or w.e that nothing works.NEED HELP PLEASE!Hello!

Right now your nat 0 (NAT exemption) follows the access list:
permit access ip 192.168.0.0 scope list inside_nat0_outbound 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0
permit access ip 192.168.0.0 scope list inside_nat0_outbound 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
Traffic back from your server to 192.168.0.4 in the pool of VPN (192.168.0.20 - 50) not correspond to this access list and thus be NATted. The TCP connection will not develop due to the failure of the Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) - traffic is asymmetric NATted.
Then try to add an entry to the list of access as:
permit access ip 192.168.0.0 scope list inside_nat0_outbound 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
It's a bit paradoxical but necessary that your VPN pool is cut out in your interior space network. You could also do like André offers below and use a separate network, but you would still have to add an access list entry to exempt outgoing NAT traffic.

Original title: printer HP LaserJet 4050 of PCL6 compatible with Windows 7?
I have a desktop windows xp pro (SP3 5.1.2600) and you have a printer HP LaserJet 4050 PCL6. The printer works fine connected to the desktop computer with a parallel port. I'm trying to share the printer on my home network so that Win 7 (6.1.7601 SP1) laptops can use its printing features. Please help.
First I tried to add it with \\hostname\printername that returned this error: windows cannot connect to the printer: operation failed with error 0x000004f1.I downloaded and installed the Win7 drivers on the HP site on my laptop Win7, that has not changed a thing: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=18318&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25475&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063Thanks in advance for any help / support!Hello
1. the two Windows XP, Windows 7 connected in a same workgroup?
2. can you access files shared XP of Windows 7 computer?

I can't create a new site of Business Catalyst with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with the server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remote site Business Catalyst created previously as it says that there is something wrong with my user name or password. However when I put my password and press to test the connection, he said that it has connected successfully. What is wrong and how can I solve this problem?
Thank you
Thanks for the reply, however it seems to work again after I removed some unused Dreamweaver sites in the section "manage sites" in Dreamweaver. It may have been a conflict of name or something.
Concerning

Help! Safari cannot connect to the server
I really need help! I tried to forget the network and turning it back on, I have disabled the firewall and remove all extensions of safari. I seems that nothing works.
I get the message 'Safari cannot connect to the server' on almost every site except this and facebook. I can't enter same Urbanoutfitters.com or ASOS. I just got the message "Safari could not connect to Server" I'm not a computer genius so hopefully someone here can help me...
You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.
Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.
Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
Step 1
VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.
Step 2
When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ go to the folder...
from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.
There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.
Step 3
In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:
com Apple.something.plist
When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.
Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com Apple.builins.plist
com Apple.cereng.plist
com Apple.nysgar.plist
There may be one or more items with a name of the form:
com.something.plist
Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.
These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com.semifasciaUpd.plist
com.ubuiling.plist
Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:
com.something .net - preferences.plist
This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:
com.jangly .net - preferences.plist
Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.
Restart the computer and empty the trash.
Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:
com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist
com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist
com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com Apple.aelwriter.plist
com Apple.SERVERD.plist
com Tether.plist
The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.
Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.
If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.
If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.
Step 4
Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select
▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General
and click on
Set on the current Page
If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.
Step 5
The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.
Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.
Step 6
This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

So I have not been able to use my printer wireless lately, so I decided to check if it was connected to my wireless network. It is; I checked, re-connected and checked several times. So I decided to reactivate my web services. I have them turned off, and now whenever I press the button on the printer ePrint, it says connection for a really long time and then displays the message in the sense of "the printer cannot connect to the server. Check the internet connection and proxy settings.
I have re-connected the printer to my wireless network, I checked that if I use a proxy server (I'm not), I used the HP print and Scan Doctor - just, it won't just matter what I do.
All I can think about is the fact that I have recently purchsed a new router, but says that its connected which is what really stem me.
This printer makes me crazy - please help
Hi @mastersword64,
Welcome to the HP community!
I hope you have a pleasant experience with us.
I want to help you with the connection error, you get on your e-all-in-one of HP ENVY 4500 printer when you try to enable web services.
Here are some steps, I suggest trying to get your web services up and running it again:
Network Power Reset:
We'll leave the router and unplug the power cable (NOTE: do not reset the router.), and then do the same with the printer and shut down the computer. After a minute, plug in the router, wait to fully turn on, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light become solid. Once the router and the printer are on, go ahead and re - turn on the computer. This will refresh the network connection.
Restore the default settings of the network and reconnect:
1. on the front panel of the printer, press your up wireless icon
2. Select settings.
3. Select restore default network settings.
4 turn on your printer.
5. once it is initialized to save, press the wireless icon again.
6. Select settings.
7. Select Wireless Assistant , and then follow the prompts to enter the details of your wireless network.
8. try to activate the web services again.
Configure a manual DNS for your printer:
1 obtain the IP address of your printer
a. This can be done by pressing the icon on the printer wireless.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser on your computer.
3. Select the tab network at the top of the page.
4. on the left, select network.
5. Select network address (IP)
6. Select manual DNS server
a. manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. alternate DNS server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply. You can get a warning simply select OK.
Please reply to let me know if these steps resolve your issue.
Good luck!
