Unable to access Remote Desktop on my computer at home, when the network is set to Public.

I have a computer set up at home as a hobby-Web server, designated 'Server', Windows 7 Professional (Swedish language version). The server has installed Norton Internet Security. Standard port in the firewall is open to allow remote desktop connections.

I can't connect to the server by using remote desktop, unless...

When I open the network - and center of the share on the server, under view your active networks, my internet connection ('designated network 8' by Windows) has the value 'Public network '.

I can not connect to the server.

If I change "Network of 8" to "Home network" or "Work" - so I can connect to the server by using remote desktop.

But if I put the adapter network/public IP of my server to "Home network", is not my compromised security more than it already is when I encouraged Remote Desktop? I don't want to let my Internet connection to the home network, because the point of having different settings is because I want to have my internal network to a lower level of security for access to the network drive.

    If your router not booking IP use.

    Otherwise, configure the computers with static IP addresses.

    Then go to sharing and permissions.

    Maybe this can help.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • is it possible to access the virtual machine when the network is down...

    Hello. He... IAM wondering is it possible that we can access the virtual machine when the network is down... (Because of power outages or when the fluctuations...) ................?

    Is it possible that I can configure my Virtual Machine...?

    Thank you and best regards...

    Indianmale...

    Hello

    Not really...

    For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

    For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

  • Remote Desktop connection crashes computer

    I have a windows xp pro machine used for game servers.

    do not really need to do much with it except from time to time to update programs, so I connect to it the using connection since a ultimate win7 remote desktop machine and an another win xp pro machine.  everything works very well for more than a year.

    recently, I had several problems; the box was hacked, but it doesn't seem they did anything except create a userid and snooping.  I have (actually deleted) patched the problem (winamp) and all was well again.  I say this only for the sake of completeness, but don't think that this is relevant

    fast-forward a few months, and one of the drives falls out of the raid mirror.  I ran a repair on it and it seemed ok.

    then all of a sudden, when I now try to connect, it blocks the machine, I am trying to connect to, constantly.

    any suggestions?  I need this machine to accept remote connections, and in any case stop crashing when someone tries.  I have done a ton of anti-malware analysis, using a dozen programs different in case, but didn't find anything.  the daily program is microsoft security essentials, but I run several scanners/cleaners and found nothing.

    also ran ccleaner just in case it was something registry

    any suggestions on how to fix this?  is there a method to reinstall this function or?

    a single note; I CAN remote in the other computers on my win7 ultimate box, so it's certainly that a target of winxp machine.

    IM lost at this stage

    Thank you

    [edit] I did a full scan with several software products malware/anti-virus (including malwarebyes, spyware, microsoft security databases Dr.) and nothing found.

  • Remote Desktop connection - error trying to connect to the server.

    I use VISTA Service Pack 2 and was able to connect to my Windows 200 server using remote desktop from my laptop. Suddenly, it doesn't work on my laptop with the error "the remote session was disconnected because there are no Desktop Client Access License remotely to this computer. Please contact the server administrator. ». I am able to access the server from another computer using my login credentials via RDP, is not a problem with the license on the server. The problem seems related to the laptop that I use. I turned off both the anti-virus from Trend Micro and Windows Firewall., but still no change. I upgraded the remote desktop connection on my phone to version 6.0 for 32 bit Vista - no change.

  • Remote Desktop, using Windows 7 Ultimate, then along the side windows 2 7 build 7100. Questions...

    When I go to access another computer via desktop remotely, it gives me the following error...

    "The connection was refused because the user account for the remote access connection is not allowed."

    OK...

    So, I found that I needed to do things, like adding groups and what not.

    So I went to the screen the system, click on settings remotely on the left side, then in the new window I greeted remote assistance and Remote Desktop (both secure and unsecure option) then I went to select users... Add locations. But all that shows is the computer im. Im stuck please help :D

    "

    To connect to a remote computer with Remote Desktop [DRC], you need a user name that is a member of the Remote Desktop Users group on the remote computer, IE. PC - A, for example, or a user name which is administrator on PC - A. The user ID is local to PC - A. The user ID must have a password. On PC - A simply type the name of the standard user in the window enter the names of the objects to select . Click check names to verify that this is a valid username on PC - A.

    Now, when you open the connection of the DRC on the remote computer PC - B use the local LAN IP or the NetBIOS name of PC - A and previously set up PC - A user name and password to connect. If your call over the public internet from a remote location using the public IP of PC - A or PC - A is behind a router, the public IP address of the router. In the latter case, you will need to also to the front/open TCP Port 3389 through the router to the IP LAN of the PC - A static method.

    FWIW here are my DRC using small pages which you may, or may not, be interested.

  • Try to access Windows XP desktop via wireless request a password when none has been set, and never asked in the past.

    I have a netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium (the name is Gary-asus-pc), a laptop (my wife) running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell640m), and a desktop running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell8400).  My Canon printer is connected by USB to my desktop.  Until this week, my wireless network in my house has been working well and I could access the desktop files and printer both netbook and laptop.

    No change in hardware or software tried laptop recently with the exception of the automatic updates.

    Today, my wife tried to print a document of IE8 on his cell phone and it did not work.  I tried of the netbook and it worked fine.  When I tried to check the properties of the printer to the laptop, I got access denied message.  Checking the properties of the netbook has worked.

    Thinking that something got screwed up on the laptop, I removed the printer from the laptop and tried to add again.  The wizard has found the printer, but when I click Next a window pops up showing the following:

    Window title: connect to Dell640m

    Message: Connection to Dell8400

    (in gray)  Username Dell640m\Guest

    Password

    There is no password set on any of the machines.  Just by pressing enter or clicking OK just brings back the same window.

    I closed the window and went back to try to add the printer again.  The laptop computer found the office but did not find all the printers on the laptop or the desktop.  This behavior is fairly consistent.  The first attempt after a reboot to find the printer is successful, but then asks a password for access.  Subsequent attempts are no printer.  Attempts to access the office system itself will require a password.

    I ran the XP Wizard to re - establish home and office networking on the laptop and the desktop computer.  Two machines can be, the Office can see the computer laptop and netbook and their files and printers, but the laptop cannot access anything be it on the desktop (password required) Although it can access the netbook.  All the machines were restarted (several times).

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this strange behavior between the laptop and the desktop computer.

    Problem solved!

    I don't know why I didn't think this earlier. The problem has been that I have constantly asked me a password for the user Dall640m\Guest. I finally thought, "why not get rid of user Dell640m\Guest?

    So, I run the Configuration Wizard from the network on both systems and passed under the names of DELL8400 and Dell640m of new names computers, changed the comment, has changed the name of the Working Group, then restarted both.  My hope was that starting a new network with a "totally clean slate" might work. I knew that, at all least, Dell640m\Guest username would not access to the network, so it was worth a try. Fortunately, it worked.

    My access to shared files and printers.
