What I'm missing to allow Remote Desktop connection?

What has changed in Windows 7 that is so complicated to get remote desktop connect to run on remote computers?  I have my wife's computer and my home theater computer, but also a 'home' server I managed with the DRC compression or at least I did.  Since the upgrade to windows 7, the only link of DRC, I can do now is my "home" Server (which is based windows2003 I think).

I've done the basics, I go to properties on my check for distance, computer, the box that says allow remote.  I looked at the firewall level, and he checked as enabled remote assistance.  I went up to build my own port 3389 to rule that it did not help.  I even looked through the services and on each service that is set to manual but not started with the word "remote" in there and started at all, still did not help.

DRC does everything just not in 7 Home premium?

You can run Remote Desktop [DRC] in client mode on any version of Windows 7. If you want to use to access remote Windows 7 PC then you need to run Windows 7 ultimate or professional. Home editions of Windows 7 may not act as a host DRC.

It is the same with Vista Home Edition or XP Home Edition. Nor can serve as hosts for DRC.

Remember that, although Remote Assistance uses the same port in remote desktop, they are completely different programs.

You could try TeamViewer as an alternative to control a PC Windows 7 Home. It's free for personal use and you can set it up, if you wish, use a local LAN IP address.

As an accompaniment, notes his best to administer the WHS Console against the DRC. Here's a WHS Advanced Admin very nice add-in that enhances this feature. I use this on my WHS...

  • Remote Desktop connects then stops after a few seconds

    I have two laptops to Windows 7.  We run OpenVPN which I will refer to the VPN server.  The other is the Client and with me on trips.  Open VPN is configured on the Client and the VPN server, and I can connect from inside and outside the network without any problems.  I also have an Open VPN Client with another port configured on a server QNAS.  I can connect without any problems.

    I want to run the OpenVPN server on one VLAN separated to prevent users to see my internal network and only sees another NAS.  I also use the VPN to offer our few users (3) the ability to connect and use my static IP address.

    I have a router TP-Link-ER-6120.  I can configure the three ports to run in 3 separate VLANS.  When I configure the VPN server works on my regular network to exploit the VLAN1 and VLAN2, I can always connect to OpenVPN and all I want to do works (NAS and Internet access with my static IP).  However, when I try to establish a Session to the VPN server computer remote desktop, I get the login and enter my user name and password.  I see the remote desktop window, open and usually see the remote desktop wallpaper and loading the desktop icons.  Then it crashes.  If he does until I can see the desktop, it automatically attempts to reconnect.  If she makes it that far, it stops with a window that says Remote Desktop connection has been disconnected.

    If I come back in the configuration of the router and change the configuration of VLAN for the server VPN is on the same virtual network, I can connect and the remote desktop connection is successful, as long as the customer is located on my network.  If I connect the Client to the VPN server from outside my network in this configuration, the remote desktop will always fail in the same manner described above.  I also have a QNAS on my network with OpenVPN configured and operational.  If I connect the Client computer to the QNAS, I can connect to the VPN server until the VPN server is placed in its own VIRTUAL LAN.

    Thus, work Desktop connections to local computers.

    However, since a remote off-grid remote office connections begin to work, but are stopped when connecting.

    -J' I ping the VPN server during connection attempts and never lose the connection.

    -J' used telnet to Server VPN 3389 port and it connects.

    -J' turned off the firewalls on both sides and went up to remove Symantec on the VPN and BitDefender server on the side side Client to use Windows Firewall on both.  And then disabled Windows Firewall as well and still no joy.

    Is there a setting in Windows I'm missing that allow the desktop connection remote on the LAN, but not enable during login remotely even if I can ping, telnet and usually access the rest of the network?

    Is it maybe a configuration problem on the side of the router?  Installation side route is a very simple graphic interface.  I configured for the VPN service roads and they remain in place (one for the QNAS) and one for the OpenVPN server.  I set up a static route (virtual server) for port 3389 go directly to the IP address of the VPN server, but that did nothing.

    Miss me probably something simple, but it launched my ass for weeks now.

    Any ideas?

    Original title: Windows 7 PRO through internet Remote Desktop connection.

    It connects via DSL behind a router

    A modem connection cable Roadrunner

    The customer has upgraded to pro. Computers aren't workgroup and domain just PC. What would be the best way to have to allow them to connect to the router. I tried the port on the router, nothing helps.

    Hello

    Remote Desktop connection uses port 3389 in order to listen to the incoming connection.

    When done over the Internet, you will need to forward the port to the IP of the computer.

    Alas, a router can send a specific port only to a single computer.

    Since you have two computers, you must change the listening port for one of them to a different port number and transfer the new port to the IP Address of the computer.

    Let a computer uses the default port 3389.

    In the second computer, change the port to another port of your choice, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759/en-us

    Assign static IP to the computers (make sure that it is in the DHCP range).

    In the router open port 3389 to the IP address of the computer with the default setting.

    Open port you used for the second computer to its IP address.

    When you connect, if the connection is a connection by default, he would go to a single computer. When the connection is made with on the second track, he would go to the second computer.

  • Remote Desktop connection and file sharing

    Hello, I have a technical question about file sharing.

    I use a remote desktop connection to connect to the server of the company.  We are currently between the two groups of IT services (last guy retired, he will be missed!) In any case, I need to backup my desktop files locally and have 4 or 5 of these local desktop file files saved as a backup on the server.   I want to just my files desktop back mount easily on the server. And I don't know how / what to ask to do this. I just need to know what to ask.

    I'm having problems:

    1. I don't know how to configure a file to save its content on and through a secure server.

    2. There are two types of files that I am trying to backup my office.  The details are below.

    2. the first type of files are simple files of customer data, PDF files, word files, files is excellent. Thus, some records are filled with the updated forms and these files constantly increasing in number and size of the file.  A simple example of this type would be a Bill.  File grows in size and file number every week because the new files are always being added.

    2B. I can't accurately describe the second type of file.  We use a program called TFP - when you open the program you load the specific customer file in a drop-down box.  Whenever you open the customer specific AMTS program saves any changes you made to this file and updates the customer file with a new date and then transfers the file from the client to a file from archive in C: drive. Basically, I want to save this file on the server of the company.

    3. can we make us safe so that data gets only shared a way?  I don't want people on the server to change my desktop files.

    Feel free to ask any questions.   Thank you in advance.

  • Cannot print using Remote Desktop connection

    I have a computer that we will called XP. XP was XP loaded on this subject. It is on a home network with ethernet etc. It has a USB Samsung CLP315 printer attached to it, which we will call SAMSUNG.  XP print SAMSUNG without any problem. SAMSUNG is shared and has the latest drivers.

    Configuration on XP
    Pilot # is 3.04.85:44
    Port: USB001 virtual printer for USB Port
    Sharing installed additional drivers Intel environment Windows 2000 or XP

    Using Remote Desktop connection, I connect to my computer at work, that we will call the WORK that has Windows 7 above and is part of a local network. When you use Word for example on WORK, I should be able to print on SAMSUNG on XP. However SAMSUNG on XP does not present as a printer available. However, I can print from JOB printers shared on the local network or locally connected. Unfortunately, it is of limited use to me because I can not physically get the printed paper, or to know if the printed page correctly until the next day, I get to work.

    I have the Settings Options on the remote desktop connection when I connect XP to WORK remotely. I think that this complies with the info I found on the knowledge base.

    On the general tab, I have the correct name of the computer and user. I have "allow me to save credentials" deselected.

    Local "resources" tab, "materials and resources local printers" and "Clipboard" are selected. Under 'More', 'smart cards' and 'Cards series' are selected. Similarly 'Readers' and 'Supported peripheral Plug - n Play' and their subitems are all selected.

    Tab programs not specified

    If there is other information in the options that may be relevant, please advise and I will detail later.

    Already XP used to via the desktop connection to remotely connect to another computer to WORK which took place of XP. When I'd do things on the WORK and wanted to print with SAMSUNG on XP, SAMSUNG has shown on the list of available printers and would print WORK jobs

    On the local network at the office, WORK is connected and print to a shared printer on a computer showroom (XP) which is identical to the SAMSUNG for model # and driver. So by my way of thinking, the driver is already loaded and functioning.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Remote Desktop connection abandons the connection permanently

    When I connect to my office with Remote Desktop constantly gives up the connection in a few minutes. I have Windows Vista. I heard there were problems with Vista and this program. Someone has the answer on how to fix this? I can connect with my Wired PC without any problem. Thank you!

    Hi Drifter5,

    Welcome to Windows Vista answers Forums!

    You can try the following steps and check if you can solve the problem.

    Here are a few possible causes of connection problems:

    The port of remote desktop can be blocked by a firewall.

    If you are using Windows Firewall, follow these steps:

    1. open the Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Windows Firewall.

    2. click allow a program through Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Select the Remote Desktop check box.

    If you are using another firewall, make sure that the port (usually port 3389) remote desktop is open.

    Remote connections might not be enabled on the remote computer. To resolve this problem:

    4. on the remote computer, click the Start button, right-click computerand then click Properties.

    5. in the left pane, click remote settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    6. under Remote Desktop, click allow the connection of computers running any version of remote desktop or allow the connection of computers running with NLA authentication remote desktop.

    7. click on OK.

    Hi Berhanu,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Remote Desktop connection is a technology that allows you to sit in front of a computer (sometimes called the client computer) and connect to a remote computer (called the host computer) in a different location. For example, you can connect your computer to work from your home computer and have access to all of your programs, files, and network resources as if you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and then, when you get back, you can see the desktop of your computer work displayed on your computer at home, with the same programs running.
