For now, I am trying to RDP to my computer from another computer in the SAME network. One of my machines is in the basement and rather than go there to do small things , I want to be able to RDP to that machine from my laptop. I have one other machine. I can RDP to that machine without any problems (internally; haven't set NAT rules yet but for that I am thinking VPN). I have even tried to turn off the firewall but I still can't RDP to that machine. So, I have following machines PC1 - Can RDP to PC1 and Laptop PC2 - Can RDP to Laptop but NOT to PC1 Laptop - Can RDP to PC2 but NOT to PC1 I have tried dignosing the problem with Wireshark. I can see that other machines talk to PC1. Connection is established but then it drops it. I am not sure why it does that.
