I have four computers on a very basic network. one computer running windows
vista business. one running xp pro. and two running windows xo home. I have set them up so now I can see and enter all computers from any computer I think. the problem is when I tried to open up a remote desktop connection to one of the other computers I kept getting this message. THIS COMPUTER CAN'T CONNECT TO THE REMOTE COMPUTER? i THINK MOST OF YOU WILL KNOW THE REST. Can someone help. Also if any person is having trouble with their computers not seeing each other then do what I have done. I was having trouble connecting all my computers upto the network until I bought a copy of Microsoft live one care and installed it on to three computers and now everything is ok. but I still cannot connect to a remote computer. |

Thank you fot the information. there is a lot to take in, but at last think I
might be getting somewhere. I cannot connect to any machine. The information that you sent shows a router and how to configure it. I have had a look on my router website for the settings but they are different to the routewr in your information. I have a Netgear DG834G Wireless ADSL Firewall Router do you know how I can configure it? "Sooner Al [MVP]" wrote: Which computer can you not connect to, ie. the Vista Business or XP Pro machine?
