Remote Assistance stopped working
I have used RA several times in the past without issue Vista to Vista.
Recently it has suddenly stopped working. I receive the invitation fine and am able to enter the password but then get the message "The person you are trying to help might have closed Remote Assistance." Tried disabling all firewalls and yes, I am behind a router and the client(s) I am trying to assist are also. However, these are the same routers that worked in the past. The Microsoft Internet connectivity tests report all as successfull. Any suggestions as to which areas I should take a look at are appreciated. I am running Vista Ultimate to a D-Link router and cable modem.

No. The problem still exists. I am hoping it is something simple so I can
avoid drastic measures like wiping and reloading.

The invitation seems only to list my local IP (192.168.0.101).

I had this exact problem. It was working fine Vista to Vista and then stopped working with the same message. I was able to connect to the same remote computer from another vista machine behind my router so the problem was not on their end. It seems I had turned OFF windows firewall a week earlier on the one and it stopped working. I turned it back ON and it worked though Messenger again. This thread sort of lead me to figure that oddity out. Thanks "Tom Howell" wrote: I have used RA several times in the past without issue Vista to Vista. Recently it has suddenly stopped working.
