ATT DSL won't connect to Remote Desktop Connection

We have ATT DSL and it won't let me connect to my work computer remotely.  WHen I try to connect from other networks, it works which tells me that my computer is set up correctly, the VPN is set up correctly, and everything at work is set up correctly.  That leaves our home ATT DSL.  I've tried different computers, tried changing the IP address to public, and have found no solution.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... it'd be much nicer to work from home until 10pm instead of having to stay at the office that late.  Thanks!

You have described  my situation 1 year ago. Verizon replaced the line from pole to NID, ran a direct line from NID to modem jack (then I was able to eliminate all filter on my ancient phone. Cable from modem to jack was also repaced. Then thanks to the experts here I figured out I was about 2.5 mile from the Central Office and since some of the copper wiring could be as old as 20+ year the issue was not going away. Before switching I would contact customer service and see if they will upgrade you to FIOS, That is what they did for me and my speeds are up to 6 times faster on download (.75 Mb/s - DSL    5.0 Mb/s - FIOS) . There was no extra charges (install, router etc) at all, and my monthly payment is still under $35.00 for conventional phone and FIOS

  • Remote Desktop Connection Times Out With "Can't Connect" From One Specific Computer Only

    This is an odd one... I manage several servers from this computer. This particular server, 2012 Essentials, won't allow for remote desktop connections to either the server or attached workstations. I can get into the server's remote web page but when I
    attempt a remote desktop connection, it hangs on "Initiating remote connection..." and then times out with the error response that remote desktop can't connect. But... if I attempt the same connections from any other computer, I am able to get in
    and utilize remote desktop. Does this mean that there is a certificate issue with the computer unable to connect and if so, how does one remedy this? Or is it some other issue? I've attempted everything within my technical ability to no avail. Any suggestions
    are greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Before going further, would you please let me know the RDC version that used in the problematic computer? Was it the same with other computers?
    Please temporarily disable firewall and then check if this issue can be solved. Based on your current description, it’s hard to say the root reason of this issue.
    So, I suggest that you should check relevant log files and get some clues. It will help us to narrow down and solve your issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

    Hello,
    I found lots of
    shortcuts won’t work during remote desktop connection between Win7 64 host (home premium) to Win 7 64 guest (professional):
    Include:
    ALP+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN
    CTRL + ALT + ±
    In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
    Is there any fix?
    Bob

    Hi，
    Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
    You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

  • Help need setting up remote desktop (on a router)

    hey networking pros,
    I have major trouble setting up remote login (remote desktop).
    Specification : OSX tiger, LINKSYS
    now i have managed to use tightVNC and manage remote desktop BUT that was when i was on the same network. Now my laptop lies at home and at school (work) i have windows running and want to access my mac at home. I cant manage to do that. Since i am on a different network and that i have router at home and also i do not use air port express (i use a linksys)
    I need a static ip which in need to know the DNS servers (adelphia dosent give that to me since i am not a business customer). I have enabled port forwarding (5900) i have even set up an an account with dysDNS.org (i dunno how that helped).
    can some one please give me with step by step instruction.
    thanks

    You already have most of what you need, but you do need a little more understanding of what you're doing.
    Keep in mind that the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client is one-way only. You can connect from a Mac to a Window XP Professional computer, but not from Windows XP Pro to Mac OS X. What I describe below is how to connect from a Mac on the Internet to a Windows XP Pro computer at home.
    First, Remote Desktop may look like VNC, but it's not the same thing. Therefore, port 5900, which works with VNC, won't work for Remote Desktop. You'll want to port forward 3389 to make this work. When you go to your router and make this port forward entry, you'll enter the IP address of the machine you want to direct all RDC traffic to. This gets the RDC traffic from your router to your computer.
    You went to DynDNS.org to help you find your router on the Internet. The IP address, as you've researched, can change. But if you set up your router to report its IP address to DynDNS then you can always connect to your router by name. You don't have to keep track of your IP address changing. DynDNS will do this for you. This gets the RDC traffic from you to your router.
    So, the steps are:
    1. Set up a DynDNS.org account and you'll give yourself a name such as "myrouter" so that you can use a name like "myrouter.homeip.net" to connect to your home network.
    2. On your router, port forward all incoming Internet 3389 traffic to the IP address and port 3389 of your computer.
    3. On your Windows XP Pro computer (you can't do this with Windows XP Home) enable the Remote Desktop Connection software (right-click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab --> select the second checkbox).
    4. From a Mac somewhere on the Internet, open the RDC client and enter the DynDNS name you gave yourself and click the Connect button.
    5. Your Mac will contact DynDNS and get your current IP address.
    6. Your Mac will then connect to your home router, which will forward all RDC traffic (coming in on port 3389) to your Windows computer in your home.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Server 2012 RTM Remote Desktop Connection Broker Role Won't Install

    Hey guys,
    I have been searching for and trying fixes for this for 3 days, and I've gotten no where.  Thanks in advance for trying to help me out.
    Here's the situation:
    I have a brand new installation of the Windows Server 2012 Datacenter 64-Bit RTM from MSDN.  This is my one and only server (just my personal one for home), so I'm using this single server to run all of the services that I need.  After a fresh
    installation, I added the AD and DNS roles and promoted the server to the PDC.  Then I go to add the Remote Desktop Virtualization Services (the VM virtualization role).  The installation fails, but I can't find any explanation as to why.
    I've wiped out the OS and reinstalled from scratch at leat 15 times, trying various combinations, fixes, approaches, etc.  including powershell, Remote Desktop Services Deployment, standard role-based deployment, etc.
    Using the role-based deployment, I can get every 'Remote Desktop Services' component to install except the Remote Desktop Connection Broker.  I've tried enabling RDMSUI_TRACING, but didn't get any information at all as to why it's failing.  I also
    cannot find RDMSDeploymentUI.txt log.
    I've also tried to deploy this using Powershell using this command:
    New-SessionDeployment [-ConnectionBroker] <string> [-WebAccessServer] <string> [-SessionHost] <string>
    That particular item does provide some error messages, but they seem to complain about the Session Host not being able to install due to not being able to find the connection string key in the registry for the Windows Internal Database.  However, I can
    get the session host and every other component to install using role-based deployment, except the Connection Broker.
    I've run an SFC scan, which found no issues.   I've also tried applying the one update available in Microsoft Update, and tried it without applying that update (reinstalling between attempts of course).
    I'm completely at a loss.  Has anyone encountered this before?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Is there a powershell command for just installing the Connection Broker that might provide some additional error information, or any
    information at all?
    I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer.  I'm willing to try anything.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Sincerely,
    Dominick

    Also Found this:
    1. You try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDCB) on a server that also has the Active Directory Domain Server (domain
    controller) role installed. This configuration is not supported by Microsoft. You need to install the RDCB on a server that does not have this role installed. See: Remote Desktop Services role cannot co-exist with AD DS role on Windows Server 2012 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799605
    2. If you don’t have the Active Directory Domain Service install, this issue might be caused by the Windows internal database (WID) that
    the connection broker installs and the Windows Update KB2821895. If you have KB2821895 installed, unfortunately you can not uninstall this KB. Try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDBC) role on a server that does not have this Windows update.
    Note: There is currently no official communication from Microsoft that here is an issue with RDBC and KB2821895. However, try the RDBC installation
    without this KB and see what happens.

  • Remote Desktop Connection won't work from Leopard to Windows XP

    Hi, folks:
    I'm unable to connect to my work XP computer via my home iMac (Leopard 10.5.7) using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac. The XP settings are correct, I'm connected on my work network VPN, and I don't believe I have any router firewalls causing the problem --- the reason I know this is because I also have an MacBook running Tiger (10.4.11) and it has been connecting to my work PC without any problems. So, this must be a Leopard firewall setting?
    As far as that goes, on my iMac I've got Screen Sharing, Remote Login and Internet Sharing turned on. Again, work network VPN is on.
    I'm getting this error from Remote Desktop Connection:
    "The Mac cannot connect to the Windows-based computer
    This problem can occur if:
    - The Windows-based computer is not set up to accept remote connections
    - The Windows-based computer is not turned on
    - The Mac, or the Windows-based computer is experiencing network problems
    Try connecting to the Windows-based computer again, or contact your administrator"
    Anyone know of a fix? I'd greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks.

    What Firewall setting do you have on your Mac? Try setting it to allow all connections. At least as an experiment.
    Do you have any Proxies set in System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies? If yes, then is it possible that "Bypass" list is not covering the XP system.

  • Remote Desktop Connection won't connect to ip address through my airport extreme?

    I can't seem to get my RDC to connect through my airport extreme. I know it must be a setting on my airport extreme, but can't figure it out.
    When I hardwire the ethernet cable from the modem to the computer it connects fine, and when I set up a hot spot through my iphone, it also works fine every time as well.
    I've made sure to add "Windows Remote Desktop" through the port setting in Network settings on the Airport. Can someone please help me??
    Many thanks in advance...

    Hello Jedid4n. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you have the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured as the remote base station in a WDS with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) configured as the main base station? In order for the AX's Ethernet port to be enabled, the AX would have to be set up as either a remote or relay in a WDS.

  • Remote Desktop Connection and iTunes - Won't recognize cd-rom drive

  • Local printers won't show up in Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.7

    Hi everybody
    I really need help. I connect to a server through RDC Man 2.7 on my Surface Pro 3 to use the installed accounting software. Now I want to print stuf such as journals but when I print, I cannot choose my locally installed wirless Printer. I used to be able
    to do it using RDC Man on my iMac in OSX.
    I have ticked printers on the local resources tab in settings to no avail. I hope somebody can help me with this issue as I really need to be able to print.
    Thanks a million.
    Best regards
    Ben

    Hello Ben,
    Do you mean that the Surface Pro 3 can’t find the local wireless printer when you remote desktop to a server? And when you remote from a iMac at the same time, the Surface Pro 3 can find the printer?
    Can the surface pro 3 printer when it is not connected with the remote server?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Check if you can normally ping the IP address of the printer when you can’t printer.
    About the command ping, please take a look at the following article.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490968.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    2. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories
    and run printer troubleshooter
    3. Please try to update the driver from the manufacturer website and check if the issue still exists

  • Remote Desktop Connection with WRT54G from Novice

    Well, I’m usually pretty good at using Google and forums to eventually figure out how to fix my problem but this one absolutely has me stumped and I’m hoping someone out there has an answer for me. For the record, I have probably a beginner/intermediate knowledge of computers so if you know the answer to my problem, try to explain it simply! ****TO ANYONE WHO TAKES THE TIME TO READ THIS THING AND CAN OFFER SOME ADVICE-THANK YOU!!!!***
    THE PROBLEM
    I would like to be able to use Remote Desktop to log into either of my home computers from basically any computer on the internet.
    THE SETUP
    I have two computers, whose names are LAPTOP and DESKTOP that are both running Windows Vista Ultimate. Both of the computers are connected to a Linksys WRt54G Router ; one wired, the other wirelessly. The Linksys router is then connected to a Westell DSL Modem that connects to AT&T’s internet service.
    SETTINGS
    My DSL service only provides me with a dynamic IP address so I signed up with no-ip.com. Through that site, I bought a domain name and downloaded their small program that runs in the background of my desktop computer. The program checks what my IP address is every couple of seconds and if it changes, it notifies their server so that anyone who types in my domain name is directed to the new IP address.
    ROUTER (Firmware 4.20.6)
    Basic Setup Page: The Router Name is just the model number, the Server Name is my DSL provider and the Domain Name is the name I chose and registered with No-IP.com. (www.mydomainname.com, for example.) DHCP Server is ENABLED. DDNS Service is DISABLED. Under Advanced  Routing, it is set in GATEWAY mode.
    Security Page: Firewall Protection is ENABLED. Block Anonymous Internet Requests is NOT checked. Filter Multicast, Filter Internet NAT Redirection and Filter IDENT ARE checked.
    Applications and Gaming Page: I chose two port numbers, one for each computer that I want to connect to. On the first line, I have Application: RDP, Port Range: 49200 to 49200, Protocol: Both, IP Address (The IP address of the computer I want to connect to) and the Enable box IS checked. [I did the same thing with the second line for the other computer, but with a different port number and that computer’s IP address)
    Administration Page: Access Server is HTTP, Wireless Access Web is ENABLED, Remote Management is ENABLED through Port 8080, and UPnP is ENABLED.
    WINDOWS VISTA SETTINGS
    First, I went to the Remote Desktop Settings of the target computer and ENABLED Remote Desktop Connection and allowed computers running any version of Windows. I also confirmed that the box labeled “Allow This Computer To Be Controlled Remotely” WAS checked. I then made sure that I had a user name, it had a password associated and that it had Administrator priveledges. I went back to the Remote Connections screen and added the user name as being allowed to connect. (I think this is redundant since it’s both the owner of the computer and has Administrator Status.)
    Next, per Randomly Googled Internet Advice, I went into the registry and changed the port number that Remote Desktop listens for incoming connections to Port 49200 to match the router settings. [Registry Entry that I modified was: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp]
    Finally, I went to the Windows Firewall and Added (opened) port 49200 for use as a Remote Connection. I kept the protocol as TCP and confirmed the scope was set for Any Computer.
    CURRENT STATUS
    If I go to Explorer and enter my IP address with a colon and the specify port 8080, I can get the login screen for the router. Same thing happens if I just enter my domain name and port 8080. However, if I switch the 8080 port and use one of the ports I chose (49200), it cannot connect, either using the Public IP address or the domain name. (I’m trying to connect using a wireless card and not connected to my local network so I know it’s the same as if I was anywhere else.)
    I’m not sure why it won’t let me connect; it feels like the router will not allow the connection to pass through it to the port I’m asking it to forward to. I’m guessing someone out there who took the time to read it is shaking their head at all the information I provided and knows the one dumb thing I missed!
    Thanks again!

    I'm attempting to do the same thing with my home network. the only differences are that i have cable internet from comcast and i'm running vista business. my router is the wrt54gs. i'm assuming that the web page is similar for adjustmants. To be honest i cannot figure out how to do a remote destop too. so i went to www.logmein.com and installed the program. once installed to to every computer you want to have access too and log into the website. then click on the add computer icom. full control app sharing etc... even better when you connect you have the option to deactivate the local host mouse and screen to prevent anyone seeing what your doing.
    If you resolve the router issue would you let me know. plz thanks

  • Remote Desktop Connection to Windows 8 PC from other computers crashing

    Hi all.
    Was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I'm having.
    I'm trying to get a LAN remote desktop connection established to my Windows 8 laptop. It's an HP ENVY 17t-2100 CTO 3D Edition Notebook PC. Note that I'm running Windows 8 Pro only - not 8.1 as HP haven't released 8.1 graphics drivers for this laptop and probably
    never will. The computer has a single user profile that has full administrator rights.
    I have followed numerous web tutorials on how to turn on Remote Desktop. I've gone into Advanced System Settings > System Properties > Remote > checked "Allow Remote connections to this computer". All seems ok to me. 
    The problem comes when I try to establish a connection. When the connection is made, it almost instantaneously crashes the session on the computer or device trying to connect. The RDP client on my Windows 7 laptop, Mac OSX or Mac running Windows 8.1 Pro just
    crashes, while the RDP iPhone or iPad app simply flickers for a few seconds then goes back to the main screen. Meanwhile, the HP ENVY loads the lock screen and displays a message saying XXX device is connected remotely and it won't let me log back in to kill
    the connection or do anything. I have to restart the computer from then to be able to use it again.
    I'm convinced there's not a problem with my local network as the HP ENVY can RDP into the Windows 7 laptop or Mac running Windows 8.1 without any problems. All computers are connected via Ethernet to a Linksys/Cisco wireless ADSL modem router which supports
    Gigabit. The iPhone and iPad of course connect to the wifi network from the Cisco/Linksys modem router
    I've also had a brief look at the RDP local connection logs. From what I can make out, they confirm that a user has successfully logged in, but they don't provide a crash log or a log of the user ever disconnecting, probably because I have to restart the computer
    to continue using it. Dead end there, it seems.
    The HP ENVY is connected to 3 external HP LED monitors. I've disconnected them and tried all devices with no luck. I've also played round with the RDP client settings to not mount drives or printers and the HP ENVY has no printers connected anyway, though I've
    done all I can to remove any printer drivers as I've read elsewhere that they are what could cause the problem, but I've had no luck. 
    If anyone can suggest anything more that I can try, I would be unbelievably grateful! I'm more than happy to provide screenshots or videos of what happens when I try connecting. I'm not sure what you experts would find immediately helpful so just ask away if
    you think I can provide anything.
    Thanks in advance!
    rugbyreff

    The first thing that I would try is to uncheck all of the boxes for local resources on computer running the RDP client. It is possible that a device, such as a printer or other redirected device, is causing the crash. You can also look under Event Viewer
    in the event logs of both systems and see if anything unusual appears when you attempt the remote connection.

    Hi Brandon
    Many thanks for your suggestions. There's nothing in the logs that I could find, like I said in the original post. I've also tried connecting with bare minimum settings on all devices (FYI the iPad and iPhone version don't support the use of printers) and
    this still hasn't helped.
    If you have any other ideas I'd be very glad to hear them!

  • Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

    Hi, 
    I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
    in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
    Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain. 
    I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
    Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
    My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing. 
    I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
    Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Clement

    Hi,
    Please check if you turn on this settings:
    You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
    1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
    All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
    Remote Desktop Connection.
    2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
    tab.
    3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
    4.Click Connect to start the session.
    Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.

  • Trouble with Remote Desktop Connection to work PC

    Note that I am trying to log into my work PC from my mac at home. My company recently announced we could log in from home with a mac into our work PC. they can't get it to work so I thought I'd try here. We use a mobile site on Safari to obtain a network connection - it launches a program called network connection and I appear to have that network connection (although very little data is being sent and received). I am then supposed to launch a program called Remote Desktop Connection (this program was installed from steps I ran through the first time I logged in through the mobile site, it is version 1.0.3), but when I do, it will not connect and the error message is that remote connection is not enabled, network is too busy, etc). However, the guys at the support desk using PCs can log into my work computer. The only info that's mandatory to input on the Remote Desktop Connection is my work computer name. I don't think this is the issue, because if I purposefully use an incorrect name for my work computer, the error message is different, stating it can't find my (work) computer. I also installed the most recent version of Java for 10.3.x The only issues I can think of are a) this won't work with 10.3.9, although I doubt this is it as the Remote Desktop Connection program appears a few years old, OR there is some firewall issue on my mac. I doubt that this is it, as I assume the mac's firewall protections are to prevent others from remotely logging into my mac, not prevent me from using my mac to remotely log into my work PC. Also, I don't use any third party firewall or other protection stuff on my mac other than whatever comes stock. if you've read this far, thanks, and any comments appreciated! am trying to log in using my dual 1.8 g5 with 1.5g memory using 10.3.9

    Are you by any chance with a major retailer? My company just did the same thing. We used to connect via a Virtual Drive connection, but they took that away and went to RDC.
    I had problems at first logging in as well. It was acting as if my password was wrong, but I knew that wasn't the case. I finally typed the password in the UserName area and found the problem!
    I had two special Characters followed by a capital letter. For instance !@Axxxxxxxx. When I typed the password, I would push and hold the 'shift' key for the first three letters. When typing that in the "user name" field, it showed as !2axxxxxxx. You have to release the 'shift' key and repress it for each letter.
    I hope this helps you!

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8, cannot save .rdp files under the Remote Desktop Connection application on the Desktop

    Since I upgraded to Windows 8, I am no longer able to save individual Remote Desktop Connection files as .rdp files. I am talking about the traditional Remote Desktop Connection application on the Desktop that was in previous Windows versions, not the
    Remote Desktop App from the Windows 8 store.
    When I try to click on the Save button I get "An error occurred while saving to file"
    When I try to click on the Save As button I get "Unable to open connection file" with the file address being where I tried to save it with the file name at the end.
    Also when I upgraded to Windows 8, my .rdp files disappeared from my Documents folder.
     I need to create different .rdp files for different programs that my employees get into on my server. Now I have to hand type all the info each time into the Programs tap on the Remote Desktop Connection window, because I can't save to an
    .rdp file.
     I like the Remote Desktop App from the Windows store but it won't let me designate specific programs to use using standard dos notation (ie c:\program files\ etc..). It just goes to my server desktop.
     I want to promote Windows 8 to my employees but I need either .rdp files for the traditional Remote Desktop Connection or the ability to open specific programs using dos notation in the Windows Store Remote Desktop App.

    I know this is an old post but others might still be having the problem. Here's what I did.
    Create a new text file and open it in notepad. Copy the below into it and edit for your environment. (IP, screen size).

    You don't need to worry too much about what's in here. Save the text file as
    filename.rdp then rightclick on the file and select edit. The familiar GUI rdp session editor will open. You can make changes in the GUI and
    save or save as a different session.
     Hope this helps.
