Greetings,
Gotta say quite a few of us brilliant support people are stumped on this one.
On my PC at work I can Remote Desktop (RD) to any other PC on the network. All RD settings correct, no fire wall, all permissions granted…etc. It works. Again, I can RD to any IP address I want (we have to use IP address).
So, I want to try from home as we are allowed to through VPN for support issues. When I type in the IP address (of my work PC) at the RD window, it simply “blinks” back and does not connect. BUT, I can put in ANY other IP address and connect with no issue.
So back at work today, we move my connection on the switch and then to a totally different switch. Thus I acquire a “new” IP address.Of course, still can’t RD into “my” PC from co-workers as a test and can still RD out of my PC.
Obviously there is “something” on my PC not “allowing” the connection, mind you, no error messages…just “blinks” for a sec like it is trying it, then simply shows the ip address that was input.
So RD works from this PC to other IPs/PCs and from my home to OTHER ip adresses, but not this PC (no matter what IP is assigned. Dynamic IP by the way). The software WORKS, just not connecting when trying to get INTO my work PC, no matter what IP it has.
Thoughts?
The few googles hits I could conjure up mentioned net framework updates. Tried that to no effect.
Thanks.
