• Remote Desktop connection: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit connects to the computer of Windows XP VPN

  Hi all

  I am trying to establish remote desktop TO my new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) on my computer (Windows XP) work via a VPN. The VPN Client connects to my network to work with no problems, but when I try to use the remote desktop connection I 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.

  Items 1-3 are working well, so I guess that the problem is caused by another issue?
  I'd appreciate any help.
  Thank you
  Lou

  Thanks for your response Al. To answer your qus:

  (1) cisco VPN Client for 64 - bit.

  (2) I don't know how to ping through the VPN tunnel - I don't see this option, anywhere in the Cisco customer (I'm not a professional, just a user)

  (3) Yes. Also, I can connect to the host PC via my old laptop XP (xp) of fine House, just not my new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) so the problem must be with my new laptop rather than at the end of the host PC.

  After that you connect through the VPN tunnel open a command window, IE. go in Start > run , then type cmdand type ping DRC-hostname or IP-address-DRC ping.

  Examples:

  Ping lou - pc

  ping 192.168.1.25

  FWIW, I have a desktop computer home wireless Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit on my LAN that connects fine to a XP Pro SP3 32-bit Wired test machine using [DRC] remote desktop. Now XP Pro SP3 DRC test machine is configured for a static IP address and I have manually configured the network mask, gateway, DNS resolves and made sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled in the properties of the NETWORK Ethernet card on the test computer.

  Just for fun, I checked the hashes of file for the file mstsc.exe on the Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine and a machine Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit I have and hashes were a bit different as the size of the files. The versions of the files are the same though. I assume that the difference is because we're 64-bit to 32...

• Remote Desktop in windows vista home edition isn't here

  OK, I have a friend on the seas and the home edition of windows vista does not have active Office on his computer, and she needs help with this problem. An admin in our play group and she needs to remote desktop to help us. the research that we have done so far says that this is not enabled in the copies of the home edition. This I ask for is there a way to enable that in its copy, and what can we do about it? I ask you to find additional information for it, but I can put him in touch with yall on here too. We need a fix for this, or a way to fix and how to do it. If its possible? all welcome solutions. Thank you!

  Use teamviewer instead. It is easier. Simply install on both, then the other person gives you the ID and the password to connect

• Remote Desktop connection window will be auto resize when I maximize it

  I am using windows 7 7100RC, my screen resolution LCD is 1400 * 900.
  I connected to a remote server with deskop remote, and I set the resolution is: 1024 * 768.
  1. the windiws will auto move right when I maximize windows remotedesktop.
  2. the windows will resize (restore) automatc remote desktop conenciton and forward it to the right side.

  Why? is this a bug?

  Hi Edwin-China,

  Thanks for posting on community forum is ready for Windows 7.

  After you set the resolution to 1024 * 768 for the remote system, you return to the general tab and select Save current connections to the RDP file settings?  If this is not the case, try to save the settings and see if the problem is still involved.

  In addition, you can direct your question to the Technet Windows 7 Forum.  This forum is designed for advanced users and configuration settings.  On the Technet forum community can direct more involving your situation.

  Remote Desktop connection is not available in Vista Home: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.

  I need more info on how your network is configured to answer the question on the other.  How is the computer connected to the internet?  It connects wireless or cable to the router or modem or through ICS from another computer or what?  How do you change between the sharing of internet connection currently?  What happens when you try to enable both connections at the same time (or do not have two connections)?

  Thank you.  The answers above, I can be able to understand the problem, because right now I really don't know how you setup and I need as much information as you can provide about it.

  Good luck!

• using windows Remote Desktop connection 7 to vista

  I bought a laptop with windows 7 and I would like to know how I can remote control my Office Home premium windows vista in my laptop with windows 7.  I read that windows vista does not allow the conections using the remote desktop connection tool.

  is the different way to connect to my vista to windows 7, when I'm away from home?

  It can be done in certain versions of Vista, but not in all.  The ability is disabled by default.  Here's how to set it to the top and also explains in which versions it works:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.  Unfortunately, Home Premium is not included.

  Here is an article on how to use 3rd party free software to add Remote Desktop capablility to Home Premium:http://www.ghacks.net/2007/02/12/add-remote-desktop-access-to-windows-vista-home-editions/.  Use it at your own risk.

  I hope this helps.

• Remote Desktop for Windows 7 Professional hangs at welcome screen

  Setup: 2 machines on a private network. Trying to remote desktop of Windows Vista Edition full of Windows 7 Professional.

  The host machine is running Windows 7 Professional. This Windows 7 machine has 1 single user account which is an Admin that I use to log on (let's say it's 'Joe').

  I turned on the remote desktop via computer > properties > remote adjustment > "allow connection of computers running any version of office (less safe) remotely. Then, to be sure my account has access, clicked "select users...". "and above the"Add..." "and 'Remove' buttons, he bed 'Joe already has access."
  The client machine that I use remotely to the Windows 7 machine runs Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (let's call it "Joe-notebook").
  When I run Remote Desktop Connection program, I tried using the "Joe-Win7" computer name and address local static ip that I assigned to the Windows 7 PC 192.168.1.15.  When prompted I provide the username of the account Admin ("Joe") and the password. At this point, the remote desktop connection goes full screen and I can see that it starts to log on to the Windows 7 computer. A few seconds, the blue spindle stops, and a few seconds later, I get the error message "your Remote Desktop session has ended." The connections to the remote computer was lost, possibly due to network connection problems. Try to connect to the remote computer again... etc"
  I tried:
  1. Disable all the non Microsoft Win 7 PC via msconfig services.
  2. Rename the computer Win 7 PC name.
  3. Assign a static ip address to the Win 7 to use the ip address.
  4. Made sure that RDP was on the list of exceptions to firewall on PC Win 7.
  Things to note:
  • I am able to the RDP of the Win 7 PC to PC Vista Ultimate on my home network.
  • On the network, I have a Windows XP computer that is also unable to RDP to Windows 7 PCs.
  • I recently installed Windows 7 on this PC and RDP has not worked yet, so this isn't a problem 'suddenly '.
  Thank you for your help,
  Andrew
  P.S., so far, I am very impressed with Windows 7. Keep up the good work.

  I found the problem with my inability to RDP to my Windows 7 computer.

  On my desktop Windows 7 Pro, I use a card (Rosewill RNX-G300EX) wireless network. When I installed the drivers for this card, she also installed software GUI of own Rosewill (Ralink Wireless Utility) to connect to wireless networks. This setting overrides Windows 7 is built in the GUI to connect to wireless networks.

  On a wild guess, I uninstalled the drivers and software for my wireless card and then reinstalled the drivers only and used Windows 7 built in networking and it works now.

  I hope this helps.

• How would enable remote desktop connection and asking for help?

  How would enable remote desktop connection and asking for help?

  Do you mean on this site?  Sorry, but we don't do that.  We do not have the software required to make the connection (it's too expensive to buy personally) and even if we did we would not get in this practice.  We work by display.

• In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly

  I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection.  I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista.  The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
  Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.

  I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped.  Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help.  It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files.  That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.

  Can anyone help?  I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.

  You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.

  It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

• Through router remote desktop connection gets login screen, but the administrator is the only option (windows 7 pro)

  I have a new windows 7 pro system which has been configured to host a remote desktop connection.  There are 1 user account (active admin), the port number was changed from 3389 and I think that the firewall is disabled (it's Norton Internet Security and I tried to completely disable the firewall).

  When I established a remote connection from another computer on the same subnet, the client asks for login/password and the connection ends and goes directly to the screen of the user.

  This subnet has an internet connection via a firewall or router.  It has been configured to redirect incoming connections for the custom to the host port number.

  When I establish a remote connection from outside through the firewall I am invited to login/password, but the Welcome screen appears and the only options are administrator and other users.  Administrator is blocked for the account restrictions and using other users to type the login and the password does not work - it still fails on bad login/password.

  I've seen this problem described in other forums, but have not seen a solution - anyone got one?

  Thank you

• Remote Desktop connection does not Windows 7 Home Premium computer connect

  Hi guys,.

  I regularly connect to computer Windows 2003 Server R2 of various computers via remote desktop without problem. However, I just got a brand new computer running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and for some odd reason I can't connect to the Windows Server 2003 by using Remote Desktop connection. I tried to disable the firewall on both computers with no positive results. My DRC telling me that it cannot connect.
  Can someone give any idea why this computer refuses to connect? Y at - it no service apart from the DRC services that should be running and can I get a list and try to restart their? Is it possible to re - install Remote Desktop connection? Maybe a download for windows 7 because I find only one for Windows Vista & XP.
