problems with Remote Desktop from XP to Vista


_hunter

Recommended Posts

Greetings...

I'm trying to connect to My computer (with windows vista home ultimate SP1) remotelly (from XP SP2) using Remote Desktop Client. I've allowed remote connections (screenshot 1) and added a user (screenshot 2). But I can't connect to My PC (screenshot 3). Also svchost.exe, which hosts Terminal Services not listens on 3389 port (as XP does)...

So can I fix this problem somehow?

Best regards...

First of all i would check the firewall settings within vista to ensure that you are on a private network as it locks down the machine if it is connected to a public network.

Second make sure you are on the same network (ip in the same range and subnet the same)

I'm accessing it by hostname. I've installed port forwarding utility (PJS PassPort) so it gives the same "from" address as My machine has. When I'm trying to connect from My work PC I'm having the same results ("error 1" when I'm connecting directly and "error 2" when I'm connecting through forwarder).

Ive got my vista machine setup with the standard RDP port as a public port on my router and it connects fine from my office although as long as you set the RDP port correctly you can in theory set any external port as the incomming connection wich routes through to your machine

So say for example my home machine is set to 192.168.0.2 the port for RDP to work is 3389 this is open by default on my machine try looking at any firewall on your machine which could be blocking this port

I have my external ip setup to 194.38.21.77 (only an example) with port 380 set to forward to 192.168.0.2:3389 which allows me a connection ok from my XP laptop as from the error messages you are getting i sugest trying using only your machines ip for now and from work take the public ip from your router and try using port forwarding

you could try chaging the port that RDP is connecting by disabling the remote desktop option in the proprties window then using regedit and editing

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber

once done if you run

mstsc /v:HOTSTNAME:PORTNUMBER /admin

that should have changed the listening port number

Another problem appeared (now I'm connecting from My work PC).

During connection RD Client (I've installed latest (6.1) version) says that it can't identify remote computer (screenshot 1).

But if I pressing "Yes" to proceed -- it tryes to connect and shows error that there was some problems with encryption (screenshot 2)...
