my RDC (remote dekstop connection) is not working for some reason, I did all the my computer things, I even checked if my terminal service is working, and set a password for my computer, I don't know what to do! I'm using windows xp media center, and a linksys router, my firewall is avast! anything else you need to know?
RDC not working?computers
First things first, test it works internally, get the Media center edition's (MCE) IP address, from start run, cmd, ipconfig. Then from another windowsXP+ computer (or any computer with remote desktop) connect to it, go to start run, type mstsc /v:MCE-ip-address
hit enter it should come up, if it doesnt then it is the pc at fault. If it does then the router is at fault.
If it does come up, then go to www.portforward.com to find out how to forward the right ports for your router. It could still be that your isp is dropping port 3389 (The remote desktop port).
If it doesn't come up then, something is wrong with how you enabled remote desktop. Go into system in control panel and advance and untick enable remote desktop, reboot, retick, and reboot.
If it comes up but won't let you login, you may need to add your user account to the remote desktop users group, go start, run, type compmgmt.msc, find users, and groups, and then open the remote desktop group and add your account. If it is already there, then you may need to add your account to the administrators group (as above), or set the password via right click, set password.
If all this doesn't work it may be beyond repair, and reinstalling windows is the only way. Or just get vnc, its free and allows interaction with the active desktop. www.realvnc.com www.tightvnc.com
