Can't connect to PC via Remote Connections
Hello. I'm trying to connect to my main PC (Win XP Pro SP
2) here at work via the network using Remote Connections; however, it gives an error "The connection was ended because of a network error. Please try connecting to the remote computer again." I've tried the IP address as well as its name. I've enabled Remote Connections and I've set the Windows firewall to allow remote connections through both on the main PC and the one that's trying to connect. Thanks. |

Can't connect to PC via Remote Connections
Hi Alex,
It seems enabling windows XP firewall to allow remote connections is not the only option for successful connections. What is unclear to me is: Are you trying to connect over a public network such as over the internet? Is there no machine between your Home PC and Work PC acting as a gateway? If you answer yes to any of the above, then try consulting your administrator to find out if remote desktop connection/protocol was intsalled and enabled. Waiting to hear from you alex.

Can't connect to PC via Remote Connections
Thanks. I'm sitting in the same office, trying to connect
my notebook to my desktop over our LAN. The desktop can connect to the notebook, but not the other way around. Any ideas?
