| 277195 | 2004-09-30 12:48:00 | Hey, I've got a small problem trying to access my computer through remote desktop. Both PC's the client and the server are running xp pro. I can access the machine I want to be able to access on the local network, but not when I try to connect through the Internet, from work. I have a static ip, and I have port forwarded tcp port 3389 to the computer i want to control but it still comes up with an unable to connect error. Any ideas? Ashley |

| 277201 | 2004-10-01 02:48:00 | What type of router do you have? You may have "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" or something to that affect enabled. This will stop remote desktop. If you go to grc.com and have stealth on your ports then remotedesktop will not work. Remote desktop has to get a response ping to work even with port 3389 forwarded. | Berryb (654) | ||

I have a clients who run an IPCop PC as their router and I have disabled ping responses on those and I use Remote Desktop connection with no problems. |

| 277203 | 2004-10-01 05:06:00 | On my router I had to enable ping response to get remote desktop to work. I had tried everything except allowing pings and remote desktop didn't work. Once I allowed pings remote desktop works fine. If I block pings it stops again. I haven't used IPcop but suspect this issue is due to the type of router being used. | Berryb (654) | ||
