Cannot initiate Remote Desktop session
Setup is a wired/wireless router. I'm attempting to open a
Remote Desktop connection to an XP pro machine (wired) from a wireless HP laptop running Vista Home Premium. When I try to connect, there is a pause of about 10 seconds and the Vista machine reports that it cannot complete the connection with a message that conveys nothing about why it failed. The strange part is that I have a second HP laptop of the same model running the same software with all the same updates applied etc etc... and that one connects without a hitch. The user name and pw are the same on both, and match the name/pw on the XP machine. How can I debug this? Thanks, Jason |

Hi
Check the Firewall to make sure that it is Not blocking the Remote connection port. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...top-Connection Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "Jason" wrote in message ...

In article ,
says... The rejection is coming from the XP end. The firewall there is configured to permit RDC, and the other, identical HP laptop can connect to it just fine.
