Windows Vista and Remote Desktop problems

by gqstyles55 . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

Hi there everyone,

I have a question regarding remote desktop in Windows Vista RC2. I have been trying to get my remote desktop to work for over a week now and I can’t seem to find any answers. Here’s my problem…

I have setup (to the best of my knowledge) all the settings to enable access to my PC externally using remote desktop. I can connect remotely from my internal network, but not over the Internet (externally). Obviously this must mean that all the proper settings are in place for remote desktop to work, but I just can’t seem to get it working. I thought maybe it was my router causing the problem. But I have the same IP addesss on the same NIC that I was using on my PC before I loaded Vista using XP. So nothing has changed there. Is there some kind of new security in Vista that is causing this not to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank a lot.

Greg
