Remote Desktop to My Home Computer

LinkSys Wireless Router Model WRT110.  Windows XP SR3. 
On my home computer before I was connected to the internet with the WRT110, I was connected directly to my service provider's router, which provided a fixed IP for me.  Hence, I was able to do a "Remote Desktop" connection to my home computer from work.  Now that I am connected using the WRT110, I received a "local" IP (192.168.1.x) on my home computer and am no longer able to do a Remote Desktop.  Is there a way that I can program my WRT110 to allow me to once again do a remote desktop, or is there a procedure whereby I may accomplish the connection?  Thank you for the help.

You need to forward port 3389 on your router for Remote Desktop...Also you have to Enable Remote Desktop on your XP Computer...

  • Remoting via Iphone to Home Computer

    Is there a "easy" way for me to remote desktop to my home system? I have found an application that i had to install on my home system and over a webaddress and password i was able to log on my home computer. BUT i was not able to view Video and it went really slow.
    Is there a way to do this really simple????

    Not really. Keep in mind that you are tring to transfer a great deal of information over an internet connection. Its going to be slow. Especially when you are trying to transfer video.
    Also keep in mind that doing what you are trying to do involves creating HUGE security holes that most OS try like heck to close. The software that is out there uses pretty stout encryption to prevent malicious users from accessing those holes.
    Short story is the way you are doing it is probably as good as its going to get.

  • Remote desktop connection from windows computer to TC

    hi all,
    what I have: I have a TC 2TB, bought it three months ago.
    what I did: I have set it up at home. Using as base station for all my devices, iphone 4, ipad 2, macbook air and also other laptop. My TC is connected to ADSL modem with an ethernet cable (as expected). with port forwarding option of ADSL modem (in NAT Properties), I managed to forward any connection to TC. I have a static IP by the way.
    what I can do: from work or anywhere else other than my home network, I can connect to my static IP (via "Connect to Server" option in any mac device), it pops up a user name and password window, I login with my TC user name and decive password. In an instant my TC disk is mounted on my desktop, and I can reach all my files in it as if it is an external hard disk.
    what I cannot do: from a windows computer outside my network, I cannot connect to TC. I try to do this through "Remote Desktop Connection". Is this possible? If so how? Is this a problem related to network connection or TC settings?

    You cannot remote desktop into a TC..
    In fact you cannot remote access a TC from windows.. sorry.. but SMB protocol is blocked on the internet.. there are work arounds but no security.. don't do it.
    The only other protocol the TC offers is AFP.. there is no AFP file access software available for windows. You need to use a Mac.
    The best alternative is vpn.. replace your current adsl modem router with a vpn one.. eg draytek.. then you can access your home network. Since I presume when you say you have static ip you mean public IP then vpn is easy (well once setup it is).. reliable and secure.

  • Remote Desktop Connection (from home out)

    Have BT infinity, has been working fine connecting via Microsoft remote desktop to my office PC (for those infrequent occasions where I need to pick on the odd email), but from about 3 weeks ago I am unable to connect.
    I have not changed anything at my end.  Others can still connect.  And I can connect via 3G, so have narrowed it down to the BT connection or the homehub. 
    I used wired, not wireless connection.
    Am connecting via Microsoft's "Application and Network Access Portal", but I just get a message
    Have BT altered something at their end?
    Really need to get this working again.
    Thanks

    Thanks both.  I've reverted to the HH3 (type B) i had down in the basement, but still no joy :-(
    I can connect to my office email, using Outlook Web Access, but really need to get Remote Desktop working as I need to get other (non email) resources.
    I did crack this a while back, but it has since stopped working - at that time it was setting my iprange to be something different (as other posts had mentioned about possible my PC conflicting with the range used by my office).  But that isn't helping this time.
    Would be annoyed if BT have altered something again.
    Just spotted the HH3 firmware was update at start of Nov
    Current firmware:
    V100R001C01B036SP05_L_B

  • Remote Desktop on 10.4 computer with 10.5 server problem

    Hi we have 10.5 server but all our workstations are 10.4. Doesn't seem like an issue but when I use Remote desktop on the 10.4 workstation and add the 10.5 server it tells me access denied. I've tried several different logins but nothing works. Double checked the settings ion the server for Remote Desktop and they seem ok. Anyone else having this problem or know if this is even possible?
    BTW Remote desktop is up to date 3.2.1 and is running on a intel mac with 10.4.11 Currently I cannot upgrade the workstations to 10.5 due to other software compatibility.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi, Steve,
    You might instead want to post this question in the Remote Desktop forum. More people running ARD are likely to spot it there. I believe others have reported issues connecting to a 10.5 system from a 10.4 administrator station, so you might find some suggestions posted in that forum.
    Good luck.

  • Enabling Remote Desktop On Windows 7 Home Premium

    So, I'm trying to set up a remote desktop connection on a computer. I already opened the ports necessary to do so (3389) and when I go to configure the remote settings through the system in control panel, Remote Desktop isn't there.
    I tried enabling it through editing the registry (even though I knew it wouldn't work) and tried numerous other things in efforts to get it working. No matter what I do, nothing seems to work in enabling the remote desktop options to show up like it does in the next picture.Anything to help get this remote desktop to work would be greatly appreciated.

  • Desktop for home computer

    Can I have a desktop on my home computer, backup all info to it for my work blackberry without any conflicts?

    Hi, I just post a new thread about this but you guys might be able to help. Do you see any issue with my using my PC and laptop to sync/backup etc my BBerry. I've only used the PC until now as I keep all my music etc there. I just think now that it'd be handy to have the device synced to the laptop as well.
    Cheers for you thoughts

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • Remote Desktop Connection keeps disconnecting

    I have BT Hub 3 (recently upgraded to Broadband Unlimited at the end of Jan 2015).
    Up until recently I was able to Remote Desktop into my work computer (via VPN tunnel) with no problems at all.
    Around March 6th, I began to experience problems with the Remote Desktop Connect (RDP), in that it now makes an initial connection and then disconnects (typically within a few seconds, occasionally after a couple of minutes).
    It will then cycle through a number of reconnection attempts, all with the same result, before it finally drops altogether with the message:
    'The Remote Desktop Services Session has ended. Connection to the remote computer was lost, possibly to network connectivity problems'.
    I have tried restoring both machines back to a date when i know the connection was working - no joy. I've also tried deleting an re-creating now VPN and RDP connections - no joy. I've researched online and tried various other things, but still have the same problem.
    I've tried connecting using a laptop (via my wirelss connection) with the same result. My manager has RDP'd in from his home machines and has had no problem at all.
    This leads me to consider whether the problem is with the router/BT Hub itself. I've tried the online diagnostic tools with no resolution to this problem.
    Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

    Oh well, I suppose that after more than 2 months of frustration with this issue, the BTCare Community is unable to help me.
    I can be fairly sure that it's not my machine as it's also happened using a laptop, plus I've even reset my PC right back to its original factory state just to sure that nothing had become corrupted.
    The network guys where I work have also looked at this and can find nothing at that end to cause this problem.
    I've even borrowed another BT Hub and tried it through that - same problem.
    So where does the answer lie? VPN issue? I've tried other VPN options - same problem. RDP problem? I've practically exhausted the list of suggested solutions that can be found by trawling the internet.
    I even upgraded the broadband cable to replace the cheap old thing that has been working perfectly well in terms of broadband, again, to eliminate this as a possibility. Now I'm stumped.
    To me, it looks like the problem lies between my router and the workplace network, i.e. a physical problem among the miles of lines connecting the two. Of course I don't want to shell out for a BT engineer to come out to investigate, so I thought that the combined wisdom of this community may have been able to help.
    Sadly not.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Cannot get Remote Desktop to work on Windows 7

    Ok. I am having issues trying to connect remotely using RDP. From what I know, the network was pre-configured from another IT group and was able to get it up and running. My company was commissioned to migrate his old PC (WINXP) to Windows 7. I have gone
    through the steps of allowing remote desktop and following instructions:
    To configure remote access, follow these steps:
    1. In Control Panel, click System And Security, and then click System.
    2. On the System page, click Remote Settings in the left pane. This opens the System Properties dialog box to the Remote tab.
    3. To disable Remote Desktop, select Don’t Allow Connections To This Com¬puter, and then click OK.Skip the remaining steps.
    4. To enable Remote Desktop, you have two options. You can:
    Select Allow Connections From Computers Running Any Version Of Remote Desktop to allow connections from any version of Windows.
    Select Allow Connections Only From Computers Running Remote Desktop With Network Level Authentication to allow connections only from Windows 7 or later computers (and computers with secure network authentication).
    5. Click Select Users. This displays the Remote Desktop Users dialog box.
    6. To grant Remote Desktop access to a user, click Add. This opens the Select Users dialog box. In the Select Users dialog box, click Locations to select the computer or domain in which the users you want to work with are located. Type the
    name of a user you want to work with in the Enter The Object Names To Select field, and then click Check Names. If matches are found, select the account you want to use and then click OK. If no matches are found, update the name you entered and try searching
    again. Repeat this step as necessary, and then click OK.
    7. To revoke remote access permissions for a user account, select the account and then click Remove.
    8. Click OK twice when you have finished.
    One thing that I found odd when he launched Remote Desktop from his home laptop is the IP entry:
    Computer> [Public Router IP]:49250
    Login> Domain\Admin
    Password> *****
    From the odd port number I would assume that was for port forwarding so I logged into his router and found exactly that. In port forwarding, he had the in/out as 49250 TCP to 192.168.30. I went into the firewall and enabled Remote Desktop in the inbound
    rules. 
    As of right now, I can use Remote Desktop to remote into the server, and withing their server, I cam use Remote Desktop to remote into the workstation. I just can't remote into the workstation directly using the port 49250. Any suggestions on this, something
    I have missing?
    He has Norton Security installed on this computer and I tried adding Inbound/Outbound rules to its 'Smart Firewall' to allow remote desktop and the port.

    Thanks for the reply.
    When I use Remote Desktop and use the Public IP of the router without the port number (49250), I am able to get into the server. However, when I try to use RDP with the [Public IP]:49250, it will not connect to the 192.168.0.30 workstation.
    Right now the router is program to forward port 49250 requests to the 0.30 workstation.
    I am going to work on the Inbound/Outbound Firewall settings today and see if this will resolve the issue.

  • What Apple Remote Desktop is NOT?

    Is there a way to run a Remote Server at my home computer and then connect to it from my MacBook Air when I'm on the go? My computer at home is on a dynamic IP via cable modem and router. So I have no fixed IP to connect to.
    However I know there are remote desktop apps for iPad and iPhone that are able to connect to their server software running on your Mac at home, regardless of it's IP. I've been having trouble finding one for desktop OSX clients. iOS4 can't be the only OS that has this.
    Thanks for any assistance to my newbie self.

    iOS apps that have this capability do because they are run through some hosted service and do not connect directly to the computer. The hosted service is responsible for tracking any IP address changes. You can use a similar service, such as LogMeIn, if what you want is to be able to take control of your home system, or something like Slink if you want other services. Or you can as Templeton suggested set your desktop up with DynDNS or a similar dynamic IP/domain name service so that you can connect to the system by using just a domain name.
    Regards.

  • Remote desktop OUTSIDE network

    Hi all,
    I'm a general user, not a server user, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. Here are the specs:
    Me: Mac Pro, 8 core, 10.6.8, wireless hookup via Comcast
    Controlled computer: iMac, 10.7.1, no firewall, ethernet hookup via Comcast
    Situation:
    My grandparents are 92 and 95 and they've been Mac users for a decade and a half -- that said, they're in their 90s so if an icon gets moved or something is downloaded to a different location, the wheels fall off the truck. For the past several months they've been out of communication because they can't remember their email password (it's more likely that they aren't noting that the password is Case Sensitive). Their old iMac was the orange bubble iMac, so it was time for a replacement. I bought a new basic iMac and am going to ship it to them (they live in another state), but first I wanted to set it up exactly as they'd need it. While I have it, I figure now would be the best to set up VPN where any time they have trouble I can tunnel in via VPN and take over their computer as an admin.
    I can't figure it out, sadly.
    I am fairly sure Apple Remote Desktop only works for people in the same network and that's all I can find while researching on the 'net. Would that work once I use VPN for someone 1,000 miles away? How do I set it up? What software would you recommend (it doesn't have to be free)?
    Am I right to think the following?:
    I download a VPN client to my computer.
    I download a VPN server to their computer.
    I turn all sharing on via System Preferences on theirs.
    How do I actually see and control their computer? How do I set up a user/pass to get in?
    Note: Security is not an issue -- nothing they will do on this computer needs to be secure. It's web browsing, emailing, and Skype -- they don't have control of their own finances.
    In a perfect world I can reset their passwords if they forget them, turn on some classical music while they're having dinner, change their background to pictures of their grandkids, do all of the system updates for them, and install new software that may help them.
    MANY thanks to anyone who can help me figure this out!
    Matt

    Sorry for the length...
    You actually can use ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) to Admin a computer from afar not connected to your network.  It does not require VPN or VNC access.  I do it all the time with a computer, also for my grandparents who are 81 & 83 years of age located in the Midwest...I live in California and access it about once a week when as you put it perfectly "the wheels fall off".
    The key issues that I ran into when setting up the connection that I use are the NAT tunneling that is needed due to the Router that my grandparents use to connect to the Internet and the DHCP which I had to modify in their router for the assignment of private IP addresses in their home.  Since the router is set up for DHCP (needed) I had to specifically set up and assign a specific internal IP address as a static address to their single computer while maintaining the rest of the assignments as dynamic DHCP for the reasons that follow.  My sister goes to visit them frequently with her laptop (WIFI connection) and I take my laptop (WIFI Connection) and other devices (also WIFI) with me and access the net when I visit (about once a year) with their network.
    The DHCP that the router uses to normally assigns internal IP's, does so on a first come first serve basis and creates issues where the IP address that ARD uses to access the client computer could potentially be assigned to another device if it connects to the network first before the client computer, or the client computer is assigned another IP address by the DHCP due to the routing table.  This causes some issues as in order to use ARD through a router to a client computer on another network you have to know the IP address for the connection (ISP assigned IP address) you are trying to enter through (often dynamic IP) and then you have to know the specific internal IP address for the computer on the network for NAT tunneling.
    In my case my grandparents luckily are on a static IP address assigned to them by their ISP so I only had to overcome the Router configuration issues.  There are however reporting services that are paid (usually inexpensive) which use a small program on the client computer to broadcast the IP address to the secure service which then keeps record of the current dynamic IP that the computer is on so that if it changes with the ISP, one only needs to log into the service to retrieve this current IP and then they can access the client computer with it after reconfiguration of ARD. (This is the first mountain to climb)
    The issue that often times these days is the second mountain that you have to climb is the DHCP and NAT tunneling.  This is in the client computers router configuration and is individual to each router manufacturer and model so I recommend consulting the manufacturers router manual on how to configure the router for NAT tunneling.  Not all routers can be set up for this, for instance my time capsule I have as a router behind a router configuration at my home to get full use of my 802.11N speeds for multiple devices that are capable of the N protocol will allow for this and the "Back to my Mac" service; which essentially does near to the same thing as ARD does, however my AT&T Uverse Gateway which is an 802.11G router...though quite sophisticated is actually not capable of the services needed to remote control the computer behind it as a client computer for “Back to my Mac” which is another reason I use the Time Capsule as a router behind the gateway.  It also gives me two separate private networks and a bit more security though can cause issues if not properly configured.
    These are the issues that I ran into when setting up the remote administration of my Grandparents computer and I have successfully maintained this remote access for over a year now with few issues.  (It still blows my grandparents mind that I can do this from California).  I do have to say that the router configuration was done with another party (my mother) being my eyes and ears in the Midwest while she was visiting them, though it was my configuration instructions that allowed her to set up the router configuration for NAT tunneling and single internal static IP configuration while maintaining DHCP for other devices (she's wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to router configurations and I have CCNA training).
    I hope this helps at least with the hurdles that need to be jumped in most remote network accesses using ARD and to assure people in need of this information or with questions regarding it that it can be done with the correct configuration and a router with the capabilities on the client side.
    Also in case anyone is wondering my grandparents have a Netgear router though I don’t endorse any one router or manufacturer.  The important thing here is the routers capabilities not the brand or model.

  • Remote desktop causes timeout

    Hi,
    I am having some issues with my application when using it through remote desktop.  Essentially it works fine when I am controlling it 'locally' - but when I control it using remote desktop, at times the band width seems to cause the time critical vis to hang - essentially they can't keep up with the data coming through the FIFO from my FPGA application.  I have tried my best to make the 'time critical' parts of the app be time critical - but they still seem to be over-ridden by remote desktop.  Any thoughts on how to improve things - ie to force remote desktop to accept lower band width-or to enforce labview being more important?  Or is it worth trying to monitor things through remote front panels - what is the overhead for this in terms of development - there are quite a few front panels in my application.

    Hi,
    So Basically I have a 'Lab' computer which is connected directly to the FPGA.  (It is one of the 'PCIe 7842R' series  boards).  It is running my Labview Application (in the development suite.).  Essentially the issue is that when I'm remote desktopping in - from home\my office etc, the lab computer's interface with it seems to break(at least when the network is being slow). 
    I guess I would expect that when the network is slow the update rate would be slower - in terms of responsivity to the remote desktop - but i wouldn't expect it to actually cause the Lab computer to slow down.  In some senses what i'm doing when i remote desktop in is monitoring a long running experiment - so i don't need to 'do' much - just check everything is fine.  Obviously if me loggging in to check if it is running causes a breakdown - this isn't ideal.
    I should say.... after messing around a little bit yesterday I have a suspicion that what is acutally causing the issue is 'queues' - basically i'm using single valued queues as a reference value to the data that is being aquired - so it can be used in several other analysis vis. I have a data aquisition VI that runs continuously getting data from the FIFO, analyses it, and then bungs the analysis object into the queue.  The other vis preview the queue element-  to get the data out.  It seems like the 'lossy' enqueue seems to be what causes it to break - ie - when i remote desktop in the enqueue become jittery - and sometimes hangs for 100-200ms - rather than usually ~1-2ms.  - which then causes the FIFO to timeout.
    I'm considering re-engineering things - possibly to use datavalue references or something like this - since i've read they are slightly faster - although i'm hesitant since the queue solution seems a nice way of easily passing the data to another vi - only needing to know the queue name.  I guess I am currently using a modified version of the Queued state machine template I got from the community forum - from a few years ago.  I noticed that the newer version of LV has a similiar template - but I haven't checked out the details.
    Do you have any thoughts on this?

  • Apple Remote Desktop and Classroom iPad set

    I am a teacher with a classroom set of iPads.  I recently used the Apple Remote Desktop program in our computer lab to monitor the students and loved it.  Is there an app (Mac or iPad) that I can use to monitor my students as they work on their iPads that works like Apple Remote Desktop?
    Thanks,
    ipadclassroom

    Allot of the newer iOS devices support AirPlay with Mirroing. This lets the device stream video & audio to devices like AppleTV. There is an application called reflector that lets Multiple iOS Device stream video to a Mac Computer. Last time I used it, I could get away with streaming video from 4 devices to the computer.
    The thing about airplay is the user on the iPad has to chose to stream video, instead of you choosing to look at their screen.
    Lan Desk offers some teacher/student tools for ipads. http://www.lanschool.com/lanschool/features/ios-student The catch is that the student has to have the app, and open the app.
