RDP issues
Hey all.
I am having RDP issues w/ one of my workstations. This particular workstation is WinXP SP3. What happens is that I cannot make an RDP connection to it. When I try to - almost immediately I get an error saying I cannot make the connection: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer", and feels as if some sort of firewall was blocking the connection. There are no firewalls on both computers. The said WS *is* able to make RDP connection to our servers here, and to some other workstations, however, to some - it can't connect (it seems that it particularly can't make the connection to other SP3 WS's. The WS has Symantec AntiVirus 10.1.8 installed. I have tried enabling/disabling the firewall, adding the ports to exceptions, stopping the serivce (all those on the said WS and my own from which I'm trying to make the connection). After trying different ways, I have reinstalled the OS, however, no use - I still have got the problem. I have tried uninstalling the SAV completely, including every single registry entry for it. I have tried changing the network cards (and some other things which I don't remember right now). When using netstat, I can't see the XP listening on 3389, although this is the port specified to be open in the registry. Any ideas? Any? I've Googled through hundreds of pages, but nothing seems to help. I'd be happy to get any advice. TIA. -- - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan M. Boyko "Aba Computer Systems LTD."

RDP issues
Hi.
I've tried the hotfix you've provided, however, to no avail. I've tried several configurations at the problematic WS and mine (which is just fine) - firewall wise. At the moment the FW service is running but the FW itself is in Off state. At both WS's the RDP is in the exception list. I've tried enabling and disabling FW's at both WS's. I've tried disabling the FW service. Nothing works. Although the error does not indicate the connection is being refused, it sure seems so, as the RDP doesn't wait for a timeout to give me the error, it happens almost instantaneously. -- - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan M.

Is the windows firewall on the trouble WS on or off? Firewall service enabled or disabled? You could try and see if this hotfix and accompanying registry setting helps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956072 Is the NIC driver current? Is the subnetting or VLAN stuff going on? - Thee Chicago Wolf |
