My remote desktop isnt wotking

[BenWall]

Ive tried everything to get it to work. Starting to annoy me now.

Any ideas?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Any error messages? Is it the connection that is the problem then?

Make sure you open up the right ports. I had that problem.

 

[BenWall]

what port does it use?

 

[BenWall]

It just says that it cannot connect

what port does it use?

Remote desktop uses port 3389, set this in your router.

Good luck.

And check you're connecting with an account that has a password, won't let you in without one (and remote desktop is enabled )

ensure RDC is enabled on the machines
ensure the receiving machine has a password protected user account (so you can log into it)
ensure router port forwarding is setup properly on both machines if they both have routers
check windows SP2 firewall config, and allow RDC
check 3rd party firewall config to allow it.
