Problem with Remote Desktop
Remote desktop has stopped working. The box says: Remote Desktop
Disconnected.....The Remote Computer has ended the Session. I get this message when I try to connect. No connection is ever made. It worked before and no changes have been made. This is Windows XP with SP2. Remote desktop is enabled, firewall has been disabled. can ping the computer and can connect to the administrative share. Everything works fine except for remote desktop. The user is an administrator and I tried connecting to the ip address instead of the computer name and get the same message. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have a good day! Thanks |

Hi,
Have you physically checked the other machine for problems? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jamo" wrote in message ...

Problem with Remote Desktop
Hi,
Maybe I wasn't clear. If you can connect to other machines, then problem isn't the machine you are using to connect - it has to be the one you are connecting to. If you are unable to connect to, you may need to go to (meaning walk/drive/run/send a friend) the machine in question to see if there is a problem with it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jamo" wrote in message ...

Problem with Remote Desktop
Right. Does it seem to be operating normally otherwise? Is there a user
currently logged on (often you will get an access error if no eligible user is left logged into the system)? Did it lock up or freeze (I've seen a machine have the GUI lockup, but still respond to pings)? Dump and restart? That's why I am saying someone needs to be physically at the machine that cannot be accessed in order to determine what the issue is. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jamo" wrote in message .. .

Problem with Remote Desktop
Yes, I have checked the machine and everything "seems" normal. It can
remote desktop to other computers but you cannot remote desktop to it. Remote desktop is enabled and the firewall has been turned off. Thanks "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" wrote in message ... Right.
