Hey all,
I'm using a Linksys WAP55AG that has a wired PC with IP
192.168.1.224 & a wireless laptop with IP 192.168.1.225. Both are
using XP Pro SP2. All of the correct ports are forwarded & I'm using
WEP encryption with the correct passkey on the laptop because it has
full internet connectivity.
I cannot connect from the laptop to the PC thru Remote Desktop
Connection & get the typical error "The client could not connect to the
remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled on the
computer or the computer might be too busy...".
I CAN connect to the wired PC thru RDC from work or if I'm on the
home laptop "borrowing" a neighbor's unsecured network connection. I
just cannot connect using RDC when connected wirelessly to my own
router.
I CAN share files on the wired PC & access them thru Network
Neighborhood with no problem. I can also PING the laptop from the PC &
vice versa. I have also wired the laptop to the router & still cannot
connect thru RDC to the wired PC. I can also connect thru the router
with a Nintendo DS & a Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge thru the same
router with the same settings.
I have disabled the Windows XP firewall & Kapersky Antivirus on the
laptop & PC (for the sake of it) & still cannot connect. I am also
using www.dyndns.com to track the WAN IP address & I also have changed
the listening port for RDC to 3030 & opened the correct port for it in
the port forwarding section of the router (I can connect to the wired
PC thru RDC from work or other 'borrowed' wireless connections from
this same laptop.
I'm baffled & need HELP.
Thank You
