Can't connect from Mac to PC using MS Remote Desktop

I have a 5 day old Windows 8.1 laptop.
My daughter has an application called Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.5 on her Mac. It is Microsoft-made application for Mac, like Office.
I want her to access my computer, using this application, to access my computer from hers, even though she lives several states away (to show me how to use this computer).
Her application asks her for:
Connection Name
PC Name (Enter Host Name or IP Address)
Gateway (No Gateway Configured is the default), but she can add a Gateway, which then asks for a Gateway Name, Server, Username, and Password.
Username (Enter Domain\User)
Password
Resolution (Native is the Default)
Colors (32 bit is the Default)
Fullscreen Mode (OS X Native is the Default)
I found my IP addresses through the command prompt by typing ipconfig /all (Of course, nothing is actually called IP address.)
She types in the "Default Gateway" into the PC name box and she can't connect. She types in the "IPv4 address" and it can't connect. (She has tried uninstalling and re-installing the software).
The error message that she gets is "Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify remote desktop is enabled, the remote pc is turned on and available on the network and try again."
As far as I know, I allowed Remote Access, and I set up the Windows Firewall to allow Remote Access. I have uninstalled Norton Internet Security because I could not access my settings with it installed at all, and installed AVG for free instead, which only
includes antivirus, no firewall.
What do we do? How can she access my computer to teach me how to use it?

Hi,
Firstly, you need to the following on your side.
1. Allow remote connections to the computer you want to access.
2. Make sure Remote Desktop is able to communicate through your firewall.
3. Find the IP address of the computer on your home network that you want to connect to.
4. Open your router's configuration screen and forward TCP port 3389 to the destination computer's IP address.
5. Find your router's public IP address so that Remote Desktop can find it on the Internet.
Allow Remote Desktop connections from outside your home network
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows7/allow-remote-desktop-connections-from-outside-your-home-network
Then, for your daughter.
1. Connection Name: Optional.
2. PC Name: Required. Enter the public IP address of your router.
3. Gateway: No need here.
4. User Name:
YourComputerName\YourUserAccountName
5. Password: The password of
YourUserAccountName

Connecting two macs using ethernet

Hi All
am attempting to link my iMac and Mabook. I've done it before with a firewire cable, but have forgotten how to. Have tried varios combinations of password and user name, but can't get access to macbook from my imac. Am wanting to transfer photos from macbook to imace.
Saw a post about connecting using ethernet, but equally am not sure how to.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Robert

As Jolly Giant says you need to enable file sharing, though only on the mac you want to connect to. IE, if you want to connect to the MacBook from the iMac you'd enable sharing on the MacBook.
To connect by ethernet, simply plug one end of the cable into one mac and the other end into the other. If you connect to a wireless network using airport and your mac is set to use the airport before the ethernet (see system prefs> network> list at the side shows order) you may have to turn the airport off on one of the computers to ensure you're transferring files across the ethernet (rather than the wireless, which will be far slower).
Once you've connected the cable and turned sharing on the shared computer should show up in the sidebar of a Finder window. If it doesn't, check that Finder is set to show shared computers, in the menubar Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Tick Connected Servers & Bonjour Computers.
Clicking on the shared computer's icon in the sidebar should connect you as a guest, however at the top of the Finder pane there will be a black bar that says Connected As: you can then connect as yourself and you should be able to see everything on the other computer

Can't connect to modem using ethernet

I am on a power mac g5 running 10.4.11.
I just got a new modem Motorola sbg6580 & I can't log in to it via ethernet on my mac, It doesn't even see it.
I can log into it using an even older mac and a pc, but my current mac I have no luck.
I can unplug from the new modem & plug into the old modem Motorola sbg900 & it see's it fine, so it is not a bad ethernet cable or port.
I called the Motorola tech support & they are stumped too.
I also tried another new modem with the same result.
When connected to a new modem if you look under system pref, network, ethernet, it says ethernet cable unplugged.
I deleted all locations & made a new one, but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your Solaris 10 does not see the NIC card on your system. Use below tool to see if Solaris 10 (8/07) is capable of detecting the NIC card:

If it's not supported, you'll most likely need to get one that's supported by Solaris 10.

Can connect HP3920 to PCs but can't connect to Mac using AirPort Express...

Yes, this is my problem, almost unbelievable!!!
I have a HP Deskjet 3920 attached on an AirPort Express and I did add it in my two PCs (one XP and another Vista) using Bonjour for Windows but no way to add it in my MacBook (Leopard).
I tried everything but apparently there is no way to do that... I just want to know why and what do I need to look for when choosing a printer...
Regards,
Alex

Solved.
I had likely the same problem. It was solved by replacing the home router internal connections with a real switch.
Many home routers will not properly multicast the required Airplay/Bonjour multicasts. Netgear and D-Link for instance does not work, although some ASUS routers work if you turn off IGMP snooping and fiddle with the firewall, but only with some firmware, so it is very iffy.
So, in my case, I connect Internet modem <-> router <-> switch <-> access points <-> devices
Works without any problem. Also the wired devices connect to the switch.
Do not connect any Airplay devices to the router!

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
Please reply...it will of great help..

The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

Directly Connect Two Macs Via Ethernet

This has certainly been answered before, but a quick search didn't give any results. So here goes ...
I wanted to connect two macs via ethernet. I use the mount tool in finder "connect to server" all the time with machines on a network, but I've never done with with two macs directly connected.
So I connect them and my first instinct is to check the IP address of the machine I want to connect to. I then go to "connect to server" and type it in using the AFP protocol, but it doesn't work.
At this point I'm stumped and not sure what to do. I don't use the "network" item in the finder sidebar very often but I clicked it, and sure enough the machine I want to connect to was listed, and I was able to connect / mount.
So here's my question ... if I wanted to use "connect to server" tool, or even mount it manually with the mount command, how would I do it? Is it using AFP still to mount and the IP address is just bogus? Something else going on?

But I'm telling you I tried using the IP address ... here, let me try again ...
I find this address on the machine I want to connect to: 169.254.177.122
I put this into "connect to server" on the machine I want to connect from: afp://169.254.177.122
It spins for a while, then says it can't connect. Strangely, if I do a cmd-i on the machine in the network sidebar, it says: nfs:// automount ... into /Network
So are you sure putting in the ip should work? If so what am I doing wrong?
Okay ... plot thickens. When I cmd-i after I connect, it indeed says it is an AFP connect, but it gives the "local" name, say powerbook.local. But then, if I "ping powerbook.local" if gives me back the same IP I tried in connect to server. Huh?
mbp:~ rjcarr$ ping powerbook.local
PING powerbook.local (169.254.177.122): 56 data bytes
Weird. It isn't that big of a deal ... I just like to know what is going on.

How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902 &p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2
Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

Can't connect from mavericks (MBP) to mountain lion (MacPro) via Wifi

i am trying to google for answers to this and i just come up with answers about connections to printers or hdmi or TV's etcetera.
the problem is that i can connect to my laptop (macbook pro) from my desktop (mac pro) but i can't connect from my laptop (MBP) to my desktop (mac pro). i used to be able to do this but for some reason all i see if "Share Screen" or "Disconnect" and my iCloud Account is listed as "Connected As" but there is no data shown in Finder.
does anyone know what search terms i can google for or if there is a Settings section that i should be checking?
i tried dragging the Mac Pro icon out of the Shared section and i tried hitting disconnect as well as restarting both machines and turning off wifi on the laptop (hmmm. maybe i will shut both down at the same time...?) and so far no solutions.
right now i have to go to the desktop to move files around and this is a major pain.
i can see the network and i can print...
THANKS for any help

hi. thank you. this is really aggravating. i am checking the mac pro this morning (it is the one i cannot access from my laptop) and attached is the screenshot. does this look OK?
also, i am starting to wonder is it possible that the "Computer Name" has changed itself on the network or is it possible that i have some control over /naming/ the computer? it seems to often be named "MyName Mac Pro (2)" which always bothers me since there is no 1 Mac Pro and i would like to get rid of the appended 2.
but ALSO i don't recall ever having changed anything in system preferences so i am wondering if somehow the computer renamed itself or something weird has happened.
finally, is it possible something is amiss with the fact that FINDER says it is connected via my icloud EMAIL account at the top of the Finder window on my Laptop whereas when i check just now on the desktop it shows that i am connnected as the SHORT NAME of my LAPTOP. i mean, when i connec tto the laptop from the desktop it shows me connected as the short name of the laptop but when i connect to the desktop as the laptop - it says i am connnected as the name of my ICLOUD ACCOUNT and i am thinking it should say i am connected as the name of my MAC PRO SHORT NAME.
you know what i mean? is there a place in the LAPTOP to check where i input what name and password i am connecting to the Mac Pro under...
THANK YOU

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

If I buy a Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G can I connect my Mac PC to it?

If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:
