Possible Solution: For those using a VPN either at work or at home, you may need to download Cisco VPN Client or similar to manage your VPN connections. Also, you will need your router to authenticate traffic as this is a job typically handled by the modem. This can be done by logging in to your modem properties and selecting "enable transparent bidge" or simply "enable bridge mode". If your VPN is monitored offsite by a third party, then you will need a UID and PW for the Client software. Without any VPN's in place, you need your target machine to have a Static IP and this will need to be setup in your router as well. Router Setup guides can be easily found online. For small to mid-size business applications I recommend the Cisco 7200 series and for home a Linksys or NetGear would be fine. I hope this helped and I welcome any corrections to any mistakes I may have made. Thank You.

Gday, none of the above discusses how one gets past the internet interface (router/modem). I have a Zyxel Prestige 2000 router and an ADSL connection. I have adjusted the firewall to allow all IP access from the WAN and for it to pass through to a PC on my LAN – the PC has IIS running and has an index page in place.
My problem is that when I access the router from the internet side all I get is the logon screen for the router – no pass through to the PC at all. What am I doing wrong? H E L P!

Quoting the article: "you can open port 3389 on the firewall and forward that to the machine you want to connect to." Exactly how you do that will depend on your router and local network setup.

Hello, I have a Windows Vista system at home with RDP software and services enabled and right now I am at office. I have the public IP that my ISP has given me. From office when I start the RDP software, in the computer name box i type my IP, when I click connect, after 5 seconds it says could not connect as the server might be bust. Any detailed description on as how to do all this. Both systems are on entirely different networks, gateway is not same and I am not using VPN.

You could also use something like I'm InTouch (http://www.imintouch.net) that would let you remotely access and control an XP machine remotely. You don't have to worry about IP addresses or difficult configurations, it is pretty straightforward.

I use TightVNC to do that. (http://www.tightvnc.com/) It's not a workaround, as
much as it is a replacement. There are other VNC packages as well.

Hi,is there a way that I can remotely access a computer without an administrative right?
I have been using the $(Dollar sign script) but this requires that you must be the domain administrator to have access to the "c:" drive of the remote computer..also if I donot have administrative rights it will prompt me to enter in the administrator's username and password.

Is there another way where I can go to run on the start button type in the script click the OK button and gain access without witout the administrator's rights?

Look forward in hearing from you.

Victory

I went to www.no-ip.com and got a static IP for my computer. This also helped me because I have a home private network which was blocking my access to log onto my home computer from another location. Once you sign up (which is free) there is a free download.

Hi Leo,

I've got several XP Pro PCs in a wireless network (Linksys), and I use remote desktop a lot. My problem is that I am not able to remote control any of them after a reboot unless I first have done a local login (and logoff). It seems to me that there is a service that should have been started on boot that don't. Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Dale: the wireless connection should not drop when you log off. There's something wrong going on with that. I've not experienced that directly, but given semi-related wireless issues, I'd suspect the drivers and in your shoes, I'd look into updating those first.

My guess is your RDP port is being blocked, yes. You might try running Hamachi in both places to set up a VPN, and seeing if you can connect across that. (http://hamachi.cc)

2006-11-03T15:12:38Z

So what I want to do is connect to my home PC from work. I used to do this all the time from my previous position, but I'm having problems here. My home box is running XP Pro, and IIS & RDP are installed. I use a router, but port forwarding is set up. I'm able to connect to my computer from other places, but it times out here. My work PC btw is running XP Pro as well. To connect I've tried both the RDP client, and the web interface via tsweb...I can connect to my router, but the rdp page (when using IE) wont load...and the client wont connect. Am I somehow being blocked, and if I am, can I bypass?

Thanks,
Scott

2006-11-03T12:22:46Z

Hi there,

I managed to get Remote Desktop working. I am accessing it from my work LAN, to my laptop sitting at home on a broadband connection, and wireless network. My problem...if I leave my laptop logged off (which is how I want to leave it before coming into work), it drops the wireless connection and I am unable to remote into it. So I tried leaving the laptop logged in to my account,I am able to remote in, but then the console user session is logged out, and the wireless connection is dropped again,meaning I lose my connection from work to laptop. Is there anywway to keep the wireless connection alive even when logging out of windows on my laptop??? how does one normally do this?

thank you!

Comment from Vishal on 2006-07-26

2006-07-26T14:02:23Z

Hi,

I am trying to do Remote Login across country. I have windows XP Home. Following have been enabled in the windows setting:
1> Control Panel > Filewall > Exceptions
Enabled Remote Desktop Login
2> My Computer > Properties > Remote Tab

I am behind a firewall and use proxy to access internet.
Whenever I try remote login to my friend's computer I get the following Error message.
"The client could not connect to the remote computer.

Remote Connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problem is preventing your connection."

I am not sure where the problem is
1> Do I have to check out any other setting in the Windows?
2> IS it because I am behind firewall and the remote login doesn;t work behind firewall.

Please troubleshoot. I am in a fix.

Thanx

Comment from The Bear on 2006-06-15

2006-06-16T05:49:32Z

This has some pretty good tips.

I'm wondering if anyone has had the problem I'm having?

Config:

Laptop (W2K with RD client installed) cabled to Netgear WGT624.
2 other PC's both with D-Link DWL520revB and running XP and XPsp2.
I'm in Infra only mode running at 108.
If I map drives between the laptop and wireless PC in the other room I can copy files and every now and then I can tell the bandwidth is saturated or something (time estimate keeps going up and stuck on current file) but the connection isn't dropped.
If I RD into either host (drives selected in local resources) and try to copy from the laptop to a PC it'll drop after about 1 minute. with this generic error "The network connection was ended because of a network error. Please try connecting to the remote computer again". When I reconnect, I see this "Cannot copy xxxxx: The I/O operation has been abarted because of either a thread exit or an application request"

I can see nothing at all in event viewer.
I've added a keep alive registry key but that's not it.

Does anyone know how to limit the bandwidth being used in RDs copy, or somehow make it as forgiving as a regular mapped drive so it will stall but not disconnect?

Thanks,
The Bear

HEY JAY, you don't have to insult ppl on here you @ss... first of all realvnc is not a remote desktop application it's a remote control, some ppl might want to have remote desktop so they can remote in the local account is still available for concurrent use... btw ppl there is a hack available to have Win XP Pro allow more than multiple connections at a time... BTW Jay the @ss... Just the fact that you have spoke that way about the rest of these ppl makes you the stupidest guy in this post.!

I have a gateway laptop with Win XP home. One day I was in class and I had a powerpoint due. I totally spaced off on it and I failed the class because of it. When I got home that night I thought to my self, "I need remote access to my computer" I am running Win XP home so I did not have one factory installed. I did a google search for free remote access and I found logmein.com they are free and you can access your files. Now you can't do anything fancy for free like print to a remote printer. (like if I was at school and I had a paper due I could access my computer and read it that way but I could not print it on the school's printer.) If you want to pay $12.95 a month to do:

Remote access Powerful remote control - from anywhere
» File Transfer Move files quickly between PCs
» Remote Printing Automatically print remote files locally
» File Share Easily share large files, without uploads
» Guest Invite Share your desktop for remote collaboration
» File Sync Synchronize files & folders in seconds
» Security 256-bit SSL encryption anchors powerful security

Now to print that paper with out having to pay I could just email it to my self and then open my email at school and print it. I love logmein.com THEY ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! So in the end to get free remote access go to logmein.com and create an account.

Oh yeah, and it is web based. You download the program to the computer you want to connect to and then you go on to logmein.com sign in and click the computer. Then click remote desktop. Because it is web based you can access it from any computer with a web browser. Any operating system too!!!

Did I mention it is FREE!!!

You people have to smarten up for gods sake! Its WINDOWS! The most dumb and easy system to hack. go to www.insecure.org download nmap and port scan your computer. You can then see what ports are open. Try downloading REALVNC for windows or linux. Its mad easy to install and operate. And its free. Same as remote desktop. Peace out you wannabe hackers.

Not for remote desktop, no. You do need Pro, as you say. (It's the reason I rarely, if ever, run XP Home here at home.)

The other alternative would be some kind of third party remote access software.

I have a PC and a laptop both are on the same LAN. They are both running XP Home. They both have remote desktop client but I'm assuming that neither have remote desktop server. I am able to look at files and access them through file sharing but I want to be able to take control and actually run programs using remote desktop. I am under the impression that remote desktop server only comes with XP Pro. Thats why microsoft shows that you need to have XP Pro on the host and XP Home on the client. Is there a way to make both of them able to be the host using XP Home?

Hopefully you've solved this by now but if not this may help. Name can be anything, helps to choose something relevant to what the port's for though. You only need to open (Type = TCP) TCP port 3389 on the 'novice' pc router and forward it to the ip address you get from the following:
Click 'Start' button on 'novice' pc, then 'Run'. Type 'cmd', return, 'ipconfig', return - the ip address of the pc will be at the top of the list of numbers (will be the same as the router's ip address with the exception of the last digit(s) I expect).
Only problem that may occur is if DHCP is enabled on the 'novice' pc router and more than one device is attached to the router, then the ip address of the pc may change but this can be 'fixed' using address allocation on the router if needed.

I'm not sure what NetGear wants in the "Name:" field either. Do I just make something up at random?

Does anyone know *FOR SURE* what "Type:" should be? I guess I could randomly try all the settings. (I'm trying to avoid that.)

> the server IP address is the IP address of the

> your lan.

But how do I *GET* that info?

Let's call the 2 machines "expert" (he's offering assistance"... and "novice" (he's getting assistance)... which router needs to be changed?

Thanks.

Not sure about name or type (type could be "TCP"), but the port is 3389, and the server IP address is the IP address of the local server you're trying to from outside of your lan.

Shouldn't need to make any changes on the other end. Connecting OUT to a machine using remote desktop typically just works. It's connecting in where the router gets in the way unless you forward the ports.

You probably have a router at home that's blocking terminal services. As mentioned in the article, you need to have port 3389 on the router forwarded to the machine you want to connect to.

It varies. If you're using remote desktop to access a Windows XP machine, then:

- If a user is logged in, they will be given a warning message before transfer is controlled to the remote session.
- I have seen the monitor wake up ... but it's been inconsistant, though, so I can't say yes or no on this, only "maybe". I've also see it interrupt screen savers.

I'm curious what someone sitting at the computer would see when I connect from remote. Does it wake the monitor up if its asleep? If the monitor is on, could anyone see what I was doing on the PC? If someone were already logged onto that computer, what notification do they get if I disconnect them, does it just bump them back to the logon screen without warning?

Thanks!

Sounds like my setup here at home, yet I can see my own server. It might be a function of your router but it's hard to say - I guess that's the most likely culprit. Resolving your domain name probably works, but then routing it back to your server is where it may get confused.

In your shoes I'd probably set up "internal" web sites that mirrored the public ones. Perhaps a single site http://machinename, which had *relative* links to the other content, but depending on how complex your websites were that may have some issues. That site would be visible only from your local lan, but could get you to your content.

Win2k Server has something called "Terminal Services" which is a precursor to Remote Desktop. I don't recall if Win2kPro has it or not. If it does, that's the way to go. Otherwise you're looking at commercial products like pcANywhere and the like.

Turning it *on*? Supposedly there's a "wake on network activity" kind of thing that some machines support, but I've never seen it used. I think the practical answer right now is probably not.

Hi Leo,

Can you help me with this? I'm a little confused. :-)

I'd like to turn my old Windows XP Pro machine into a file server which I would connect to using a notebook with XP Home. Both of these machines would be part of my home LAN and be connected together through a DSL router. I'd like to be able to locate the file server in the basement without any keyboard or monitor attached. My question to you relates to XP's built-in remote access feature. Am I going to be able to establish and close connections from the XP Home notebook to the XP Pro file server without touching the XP Pro machine?

Does this question make sense? I'm just confused by the differences in the remote access capabilities between XP Home and Pro.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Charles

You can have different machines listen on different ports, and then open those ports across the firewall. See this MSKB article: http://ask-leo.com/d-40508b to change the listening port.

How can you connect to more than one machine behind the firewall? Can you change the default port (3389) on the 2nd machine? If so, how can you change it on the remote computer in order to still get to computer 1 when you want to.

I know how to manipulate PC Anywhere to do this. Still new to RDesktop.

It would be the IP *on the internet* that gets to your site ... that probably means the IP assigned to your DSL connection by your ISP. If you are running through a router, then that router will have to open port 3389 and send it to the computer behind the router you want to connect to.
