Turn on remote desktop

Hello, I have a computer which seems to have problems with e/s (I say this because the monitor doesn't wake of mouse or keyboard). I can say that the operating system is at least nominally ok, because I can use a wireless media center (from an extender), and I can file (from another computer on the wireless network) system with wireless access.

OK, back to my original question: I was hoping that I could remote desktop in this Vista machine with the i/o problem. However, when I go to connect to this computer via desktop remotely (by using the IP address), he told me 'this computer cannot connect to the remote computer.  Any ideas on how to fix? Thank you!

Hello

1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

2. What is the number of brand and model of the keyboard and mouse?

I suggest you to try the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if this may help.

  • 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.

  • Remote Desktop win7 sharing - &#62; XPPro only with firewall turned off?

    I'm trying to set up a simple office remotely. All the computers are on a local network. I want to run the desktop sharing of my new Win7 box for my old XP Pro box. I just completely wiped and reinstalled XP Pro. Here's what happens:

    With the firewall WE on the XP box, I can't use the computer name to connect. I get an error message. However, I can use the IP address to establish a remote desktop connection.

    When I then disable the firewall in the XP box and close the session, I can also use the computer name to establish a connection. This connection is live, even if I then re-enable the firewall. But once I log in, I'm back using the IP address.

    It seems to me that if something needs to be changed in the XP firewall, but what is?

    Thanks for posting if you have an idea.

    Hi vistauser111,

    We recommend that you change/reduce the security settings in Avira Security software and check the result.

    Step 1: If the problem persists, we recommend that you visit the Windows updates to see if there are updates available for the remote desktop connection client and install it.
    see How to keep your Windows up-to-date .

    Step 2: If the problem persists, try the following steps and check the result:
    a. open the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
    b. method 2, follow steps 1 and 2, and then restart the computer to see if the problem persists.
    c. If the problem does not persist in the boot, then follow step 3 and step 4 to find out which is the origin of the problem, and once you have found the culprit, uninstall the program and check the result.

    Note: Don't forget to follow the steps in the steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state"" section.

  • Weired problem with Remote desktop and WLan on Tecra M7

    Hello

    I regularly use Microsoft Office remote to connect to my work PC to my laptop (TOSHIBA TECRA M7 Tablet) home.
    However, since buying (not had long), the remote desktop connection drops and I can't reconnect to the Toshiba laptop.

    It seems that when I connect to the start via Remote Desktop and the connection start screen appears after a short time 10-25mins laptop Toshiba Wifi connection drops.
    When I try to reconnect it does not allow me to do.
    I have to physically come back home and logon to windows XP and then re - activate the wifi.

    I did the following to here.

    1 UPDATE the latest BIOS
    2 UPDATE WIFI INTEL PRO ADAPTER TO THE LATEST DRIVERS
    3. NOT MY BROADBAND, AS PREVIOUSLY, HE WORKED WITH HAPPINESS ON MY OLD LAPTOP.
    4. NOT MY WORKING BROADBAND CONNECTION WORKED FINE BEFORE AND IS STILL WORKING ON THE OLD INSTALLATION
    5. HAVE YOU TURNED OFF ALL THE POWER ON THE LAPTOP AND WIFI PROPERTIES MANAGEMENT, WHERE HE WOULD SLEEP.

    PLEASE HELP, IT IS NECESSARY FOR EMERGENCY

    Hello

    Do you use the Intel Proset utility to configure the WiFi connection?
    Try to configure the WiFi network using this tool and check if the WiFi network would disconnect again.

    I m also interesting this driver Wlan did you use?
    Did you use one page of Intel?
    If this is not the case, check the Intel page for the new WLan driver version.

  • Apple Remote Desktop (3.8.5) on several network interfaces

    Location:

    Running Office at distance between an iMac and a Mac mini, both running up-to-date El Capitan.  ARD version 3.8.5

    Both computers are on two networks, the WiFi network including the internet connection and is therefore "primary" and a wired machine-to-machine ethernet connection.  WiFi and ethernet are on separate subnets.

    In Didier, ARD 3.8.4, the Remote Desktop on the Mini app would announce (on Hello) as 'Active' wireless and wired interfaces, and from the iMac, I could choose who I want to use.  Usually the cables, connection gigabit ethernet to reduce network activity on WiFi.

    After these two machines 10.11.2 and ARD 3.8.5, update the Mini looks like 'Active' on the WiFi connection and 'offline' on the connection wired and is the remote desktop will not connect via the wire link. (no change with 10.11.3)

    I tried all combinations of options, I could think of to try to force the 3.8.5 on the Mini ARD announced as 'Active' on the wired connection.  Until beginning with no network connection, at all, on each machine, with all remote management and sharing turned off, re-boot both systems and leaving the disabled WiFi connection.  All to nothing does not.

    Paradoxically, file sharing works great!  It's just the Remote Desktop/screen sharing (Yes, I tried also, all possible combinations) will not announce or connect to the wired connection.

    When the two networks are active, sharing on the Mini preferences show the IP address for the primary network (WiFi) as well as the name (Nimitz.local) of the computer.  However, if the WiFi connection is not active there is no IP address displayed and the ".local" does not appear in the name of the computer.  It appears as just "Nimitz" not "Nimitz.local".

    I went through all the / library, folder ~ / Library, looking for whatever it is possibly connected to this issue.  I opened the files, checked the files, replaced the files and deleted the files without result.

    So my question is: how to do Remote Desktop or screen sharing to connect to the wired interface?  I'd rather not try and go back to Yosemite and ARD 3.8.4 if possible.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Kyle

    App for screen sharing, it must use the wired connection if you Set 1) Ethernet on your system of Viewer to be the first interface in system preferences-> network-> gear-> Service order icon set... and 2) to connect to the target by its IP Ethernet address. Remote Desktop is the MAC address of each computer and combines the addresses into a single entity. Most likely, the second computer that shows 'offline' is a file incomplete or dead. I would like to delete it. ARD promotes the address who has worked both previous. In theory, you can turn off WiFi and connect once via Ethernet and it will remain.

  • Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server printing problems...

    Hello

    We have recently installed a Server 2008 r2 remote desktop server.  Everything works well except sometimes once a user has printed a large number of documents remotely a print job fails.  The only mistake he gives may not print.

    Once this problem starts they then won't even be able to print locally to a printer connected to the server.  The only way to solve the problem is to disconnect and turn it back on.

    We checked to see if the spooler is running, it is not a remote printing problem, that it does not start even local print will work for this user.  We also checked to make sure that the print queue is not an uptight work.

    How we solve this problem?

    No, they can't, you're safe.  Remote Desktop is practically mapping those to you for your own convenience during your remote session.  And if you do not need them, you can even turn them off in remote desktop options before connect you.

    It's Windows 7, but the mac client is very similar.  Looking for an option like this:
