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.

so check for a printer driver update and what you can also do is to avoid mapping your printer to the Remote Desktop. Maybe this also fixes the issue.

"remote desktop connection has stopped working" When printing from remote desktop connection

I have been having a issue when using a windows 7 machine. I have Remote Desktop to a session on Windows2008 R2, I am using the local printer resources to redirect the printing. However everytime i try to print it crashes the remote desktop application.
Gives me "remote desktop connection has stopped working." I have 4 other computers connected and printing with no issues what so ever. This only happens when i print. It does print by the way just the application crashes.
-I have also updated the printer drivers to newest possible thru the manufactorer website. The printer is a Brother MFC-8890DW. Windows 2008 R2 is up to date for the RDS server. 3 other machines are able to Remote in and print. The user is able to print using
diffrent machines just not the Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
Happy to hear that you resolved your issue. For another issue which you are facing here trying to provide some suggestion.
As you have commented that you are facing issue with second screen resolution on wide screen. The setting which I am suggesting can only applies when you are using multi-monitor Remote Desktop connections. If you are making Connections using a single
monitor do not use this setting.
So for this you can try to apply “Limit maximum display resolution” setting in group policy, where you can mention the width & height for the screen to display. The setting can be applied on below mentioned
path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Meanwhile sharing article with you for more information.

Remote Desktop Connection ok on work wireless but not from home

I've succesfully logged into the Win 2003 SBS (Terminal Services) from within the wireless connection at work using Mircrosoft's "Remote Desktop Connection". However when I try to do this from home I get the following error message "Either remote connections are not enabled, the computer is too busy to accept new connections, or network problems are preventing your connection. Try connecting again later or contact your administrator."
I've got the firewall on the mac on.
Now what I can't work out is why it works when at work and not from home. I have been searching for ages and can't work this out - annoying as I am sure it is very simple!
One thing I can think of is that the first time others connect via PCs they have to download the connection manager from the company web site which installs a security certificate. However this is an .exe file so cannae work on the Mac.
Do all I need to do is ask the IT administrator to email me the certificate and drop it into the keychain?
Thanks in advance.

"Now what I can't work out is why it works when at work and not from home."
Probably because, if your work is smart, they have a firewall in place, blocking external access to the ports needed for use with RDC.

Remote Desktop Connection no longer works.

After verifying that all Remote Desktop Connection settings and firewall settings match the requirements, I cannot connect to the host computer running Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center from a client computer running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 over my
home (private) network. I was previously able to connect these same two computers when the host computer was running Windows XP Pro, but now that I have upgraded its operating system to Win 8.1 Pro the connection no longer works. The Windows Troubleshooter
cannot find the problem. What is wrong?

If you turn off a firewall in a router it is still using NAT which will also act like a firewall. In my experience its better to let your router be the firewall.
On most routers that have an SPI firewall you have to setup 2 rules to allow remote connections. One would be the firewall rule and other would be the port forwarding(NAT) rule.
Are you forwarding the correct ports to your mac from the router? Does your Mac have a fixed IP address?

Remote Desktop Connection no longer working

Hi, I really hope someone can please help me. I just switched from Comcast to FIOS and I can no longer remote desktop to work - so I'm not getting paid until I can get it fixed.
The way that I was doing it before was to connect with a regular Microsoft VPN (I have Windows XP Professional), and then I would use Remote Desktop Connection to log into the work PC. Since I switched to FIOS it no longer works on either my laptop with wireless or my desktop which is connected to the router.
The VPN seems to be connecting OK; it says it is and it is sending/receiving a small bit of data. But when I open the the RDC and try to connect using the PC name it says that the computer cannot be found. I tried to connect to the IP address of it (after connecting through the VPN) and then it says it's found but cannot connect.
There is another location to which I log in using a Cisco VPN and then Remote Desktop - that still works just fine. Nothing at work has changed; everyone else can log in with no problems, including everyone else with FIOS.
I honestly have no ideas at all; this is not my area of expertise to say the least. If anyone could help I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is a new Actiontec router.
I finally got it resolved; one of my coworkers suggested checking to make sure that the IP addresses were not in conflict, and they were. So, if anyone else has this problem, what happened was that the new router was assigning IP addresses to my PC's at home in the 192.168.1.x range, which was also the server at work's IP address.
So the really dumbed down version (for people like me!) is to open a command prompt on your desktop, run ipconfig /all, and then it will tell you your internal IP address. (I was getting thrown off because the ROUTER'S IP address, which is the one you can look up online, was different). If the PC's IP is almost the same as the server IP address, then you have to change the IP range on your router to something like 192.168.114.x. There's directions if you google the router specs; I had to change it in three places on the router software; the router IP, the begin range and the end range.
Thank you, jumpin68ny, for starting to help me. Hopefully now this may help someone else!

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.

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 from a Windows 8.1 laptop to a work PC using Windows 7

Hi!
I posted this question in the MS Community forums and they redirected me here... I searched the forums here but didn't find anything that helped with my problem. So here is my original question (posted originally here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/remote-desktop-connection-to-a-work-pc/5fa25045-de24-4a7c-9c8e-caf9ce17e444):
For the past few weeks, I've been trying to set up a VPN connection to my work PC so I can work from home.
Work PC runs on Windows 7 (I assume Pro, but I can't confirm at the moment).
Home laptop runs on Windows 8.1 (the laptop came with Windows 8 already installed, so I assume it's the standard, or Home, edition. I manually upgraded to 8.1).
Now, after many migraines and sleepless nights fiddling with settings, the VPN connection works. However, what prevents me from completing the connection is Remote Desktop Connection.
Here's the error I get:
"Remote Desktop can't find the computer "<computer name>". This might mean that "<computer name>" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to."
Note:
- I DO have the correct computer name. I have a working connection to my work PC from my personal desktop PC (running XP), though I sometimes need to travel and a laptop is much more practical to carry around than a PC... ;)
The VPN Connection Wizard never asked me to enter my destination PC username and password (so my work Windows credentials). Why?
Any ideas as to why Remote Desktop doesn't want to connect?
Any suggestions as to what I can try to fix the problem?
Thank you for all the help!

Are you able to ping the remote system by name? It sounds as though you are connecting to VPN but are unable to resolve the names of the host network. A few things that I would think of:
If the home system is not on a domain and the work system is, you may need to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For example, instead of
computer you would enter computer.domain.com.
You may want to check if your VPN connection is configured as a default gateway, otherwise if your home and VPN network have the same IP address range you may be experiencing a conflict.
See the instructions provided here.
You also may want to check the DNS settings for the VPN connection to ensure that it is finding the DNS server for the remote network and thus is able to resolve the hostname.
You may want to try connecting Remote Desktop via IP address to determine if the issue is with name resolution (DNS) or connectivity.

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!

Remote Desktop Connection not working

I am able to remote desktop connect to my home computer from work; however, I can't remote desktop connect to my work comptuer and server. I believed it has something to do with my Linksys E3000 access point settings but I'm not sure where to look for and verify. I took my home laptop to work and able to do remote desktop connect to the server. I also took a laptop that's working fine with remote desktop connect to the server home and tried to remote desktop connect to the server at work and it's not working. Therefore, I've concluded that it has something to do with the access point and not the settings in the computer because it works fine when I took it out of my home network. I also VPNP in to my work place so that it has the same IP address as at work and still, remote desktop connection from home to work is not working. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Connecting from home to your remote desktop server has nothing to do with your router. Certain ports are needed to be opened from the server’s end in order to host an application. Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work. In case it will not work, then contact your IT guy.
If you read my previous post it said:
"I took my home laptop to work and able to do remote desktop connect to the server.

I think my above statement answers your question of "Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work." However, your statement prompts me think of something else. What I have tried is bring my laptop to work and tried connect via RDC to the server and it works but it just not working when trying at home. What I have not done is instead of brining my laptop to work and try RDC there, perhaps I should I try it on a friend's or relative's network and see if I can do RDC to my server at work. If this does not work as well, then, could it be that at work there is something something outside RDC coming? But even if this is so, why can't VPN work?

Remote Desktop connection from Macbook to Win 2012 TS

One of our users purchased a new Macbook (OS X Yosemite) and installed the MS Remote Desktop app to do work from home. We've been trying to connect, we get to the logon screen, but there is a message that the user does not have Allow Logon through
Terminal Services right. I've checked the rights, and the user can log in remotely from other workstations, so rights are not the issue. We are using Remote Desktop version 8.0.14 (Build 25823).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
How you are trying to remote desktop (either by IP address or Password)?
Did you find any specific error\log for your issue?
Please try to reinstall the app and collect log from below path for further research.

Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working when Disconnecting

Hi I have a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1. Whenever I RDP into another Windows 8 machine... upong disconnecting I get the error: "Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working"
I have tried not mapping to remote printers, or drives (smart cards etc.) and it still persists. When I remote to Windows Server or Win 7, it does not happen.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
mi

FYI, same issue here, Windows 8.1 on ThinkPad W520 (upgraded from Windows 8).
Even without Fingerprint Manager, and having uninstalled ThinkVantage Password Manager as well, still crashes. I also tried the:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
but no luck, my mstsc.exe is still crashing when the remote session window is closed.
Any ideas? Happy to upload/provide more details, here's the Report.wer contents from

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac to Windows - logout error

Hello
I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to get from my Mac into a MacMini running Windows XP Professional. I can log into the Windows computer, but once I put in my password and click OK, it logs out of the Windows machine. Is there some sort of sharing preference or configuration that I'm missing that's making this happen?
I want to be able to use RDC to access the Windows machine and keep everything up still on the Windows machine.
Thanks

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.
