Windows 7 remote control problem - ARD 3.3.2

I have a Windows 7 PC and a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion). I have set up TightVNC only so I can remotely control my PC from my Mac. Although when I attempt to observe/control the computer, I get the following message:
"Connection failed to "192.168.0.1"."
I got the PC's IP address by typing IPCONFIG into the Command Prompt. I copied down the number from "Default Gateway". Is this the correct IP? Do I need to configure a specific setting on the PC and/or Mac?
Please respond ASAP, this is important as I am handing my PC over to my kids soon and I would like to monitor their activity.

Default Gateway is the IP address of your router. To connect to your PC you would want the number to the right of "IP Address . . . . " Also when you do "IPCONFIG /ALL", you may see multiple Interfaces listed, make sure to copy the IP address of the correct interface.
If you try connecting by that address, and it fails, you might want to try turning the firewall off on the PC.

  • SB Audigy 2 Platinum Remote Control Problem, Need THis Resolved quic

    Hi
    this is a Known issue to Symantec Support, I really really want to be able to use my Audigy 2 Remote Control with this Soundcard, but I can't, until Symantec or YOUR SLOW AS MOLASSES COMPANY UPDATES MEDIASOURCE SOFTWARE SO THESE 2 PROGRAMS DON"T CONFLICT, WITH REMOTE CENTER LOADING ON STARTUP, IT WILL NOT LOAD AUTOPROTECT FOR NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2005
    FIX THIS, and quickly, is all I have to say
    Or let use SB Audigy 2 Platinum Users download the newest versions of the software

    Hi
    I don't have that file on startup--SBDrvdet, All I have is Creative DVD Audio Driver Detector, CTHelper, and RCman, which is disabled so Norton's Autoprotect will work ok.
    Thanks for the reply though
    Here is Symantecs workaround, I guess I can li've with these, but if Norton's Autoprotect winds up disabling by this workaround, and I happen to get a trojan or virus in..then I won't be very happy
    To stop Creative MediaSource Go! from running when the computer starts
    On the Windows taskbar, click <B>Start </B>><B>Programs </B>><B>Creative </B>><B>Creative MediaSource Go!</B>, and then click <B>Creative MediaSource Go!</B></LI>
    Right-click anywhere on Creative MediaSource Go!</LI>
    In the new window that appears, click <B>Close</B>. This prevents the program from loading when the computer starts.</LI>
    Do one of the following:
    If you also have Creative RemoteCenter, then go on to "To stop Creative RemoteCenter from running when the computer starts."</LI>
    If you do not have Creative RemoteCenter, then restart the computer and go to the next step.</LI>
    </LI>
    After the computer starts and Norton AntiVirus runs without a problem, then re-enable Creative MediaSource Go!</LI>
    <B>To stop Creative RemoteCenter from running when the computer starts</B>

    Restart the computer.</LI>
    After the computer starts and Norton AntiVirus runs without a problem, then re-enable RemoteCenter. To re-enable RemoteCenter, repeat steps through 5, this time checking each entry.You must repeat these steps whenever you start the computer.</LI>
    After Disabling Creative DVD Audio Detector, I reenabled the Remote Control and restarted, and so far so good last 2 days without a conflict With Norton Antivirus, if it really does solve the problem, I will email Symantec Support and let them know the solution, so they can inform other users with the same problem, since obviously creative doesn't want to assist them in finding the problem or provide help fixing it. So far Remote Control hasn't been an issue, but I'm gonna wait til end of month to send off an email to Symantec to make sure it's actually fixed. Since if it doesn't drop out of me by then, then I know it's fixed, since was only in 2 weeks before it got the internal program error before.

  • Can my Windows MCE Remote control iTunes?

    I have an iPhone so I want to use iTunes as much as possible to make myself as familar witht he program that I can.
    I would really love if my Windows MCE Remote can control it.
    I used the up and down arrows and it seemed to scroll through the song list, but I couldnt pause the song from the remote.
    So can I get it to fully work with iTunes?
    Can I even use the MCE on the desktop like a mouse?

    No idea, since I don't have Windows MCE Remote. Have you tried over in their forums?

  • Software needed for Pavilion dv2201ca web cam plus remote control function

    HP Pavilion dv2201ca - Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    Replaced hard drive and reloaded software using System Recovery DVD and downloaded SP-1 and SP-2.
    The web cam and the remote control features do not function after installing the above software and using online updating for the installed software. 
    Can someone please direct me to a link that will provide the proper web and remote software?

    Didn't find the soft pac for the remote control installation, just instructions for using the TV functions. On a separate forum I found a reference to " sp40139 " to resolve the remote control problem on a different operating system. I downloaded the file (29Mb) but was afraid to install it for my 32 bit Vista Home Premium OS. If I could find the link to the location where this soft pac was located, I could probably find the correct one.
    My computer dv2201ca is probably of Canadian origin ..... would there be a different support site for this?

  • Problem with remote control and Windows 7 - HP Pavilion 6301eu

    I installed Windows 7 32-bit and my remote control does not work. I have tried all possible drivers and still nothing ... Photo driver attached. Does anyone have a link to the current drivers for the remote control and Windows 7? thank you

    Hi John:
    Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
    There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
    I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
    Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

  • Remotely Control Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hey,
    So this is my problem: I've got two computers at home. One's a Mac and the other is a Wndows 7 Home Premium machine.
    I have Lion Server coupled with ARD 3 and need to remotely control the Windows computer. I have installed VNC 4 (on Windows) but don't know what to do next.
    I understand there is a bunch of restrictions within Windows 7 Home Premium when it comes to remote connections but it's something I really need to sort out.
    Do you know how to set up ARD with Windows VNC (or any other paths to remote control)? 
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cameron

    Hey,
    So on the Windows PC the "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer" checkbox is marked.
    And on the Mac the error message reads:
    "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."
    Thanks for being so helpful!

  • Remote Control and Remote View Problem

    Hi,
    I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
    Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
    We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
    user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
    desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
    When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
    paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
    desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
    I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
    Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
    the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
    users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
    which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
    We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
    computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
    SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
    The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
    changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
    above.
    Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
    Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
    change.
    Thanks!

  • Firefox Selenium Remote Control window does not close.

    Using Selenium 2.17 and/or Selenium 2.26 on Windows 7 we are having a problem with the Firefox Selenium RC (Remote Control) window not closing after the Selenium tests have completed.
    We did not have any issues when using Firefox 10.0.1esr, but when we upgraded to 10.0.10esr the problem showed up.
    Any ideas how to solve this problem? Our company requires us to be at the latest ESR release so going back to 10.0.1esr is not an option.
    Any plans to resolve this problem in another ESR release?
    Thanks,

  • Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

    Dear All,
    I have Qosmio G30-194,
    first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
    I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
    Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
    Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.

    N.B, : My laptop info are:
    Model Number PQG32E-01P018AR
    Thank you in advance

    don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
    they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
    - install software and drivers for remote again
    - reinstall windows
    - replace reciever
    - change motherboard
    - change remote
    - terminate and restart relevant processes
    - downgrade bios
    - update bios
    - combinations of the above
    on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
    almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
    my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

  • Remote control and windows XP SP2

    I have been creating new images and noticed that when I install windows XP
    service pack 2 that the remote control client fails to load up and I cannot
    control the workstations. Before placing the service pack on,the remote
    control agent on the system tray loads up, but disapears after service pack 2.
    I have seen this on a vairety of different workstations and different
    clients. We are currently using the Novell client 4.83.3.1 SP1 and a 4.9
    client.
    Has anyone come across this problem?

    thanx to Shawn Dakin for this solutions
    1) Change the Windows Firewall/ICS service to manual
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SharedAccess
    String Value Start = 3
    2) Force Windows Firewall/ICS service to start before Remote Management
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Novell User Agent
    Multi String Value DependOnService = SharedAccess
    NOTE: DependOnService must also contain WM
    3)Set Firewall Exceptions for wuser.exe
    netsh firewall add portopening UDP 1761 ZENRC Enable
    netsh firewall add portopening UDP 1762 ZENRC Enable
    netsh firewall add allowedprogram c:\novell\zenrc\wuser32.exe ZenRC enable
    NOTE We placed the netsh commands in the autoexec.bat of every WinXpSp2
    machine.
    This fixed the problems for us, and allows us to remote control even if
    the user is not connected.
    THIS WORKS WITH ZenWorks 3.2 ONLY

  • Remote control and MCE remote on Windows

    I am having issues with the remote control app on the Tablet S1 and MCE remotes on Windows 7 (64-bit). After learning the buttons for the MCE remote, pressing the same button more than once from the app does not do anything. For example, if I press the Up button the first time, it works fine. But if I press the Up button again, nothing happens. I have verified that the original MCE remote works as expected, and I have also verified that the tablet and the remote control app works with the MCE receiver connected to Ubuntu 11.10. Is anyone else running into this problem? How will the remote control app get updated (via the market or from system update)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Welcome to the User Discussion Forums
    If you have issues with the UP button, you can reprogram just the UP button without starting over
    Please follow this guide to re Learn an existing button within your Remote

  • Remote Control Disconnecting on Windows 8.1

    We seem to be having a problem with the SCCM remote tool disconnecting, but only with Windows 8.1 clients.  Windows 7 clients seem to work fine.  It will connect, and then after about 20 seconds or so disconnect and then bring the user to
    the lock screen.  Has anyone experienced this behavior before? We are fully patched to CU3 on the client and console ends. It would appear to be an authentication issue, but the strange part is that it does make the initial connection without difficulty.
    All other aspects of management like advertisements, software pushes, updates, etc. work just fine.
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    Are you running SCCM 2012 or SCCM 2012 SP1? Windows 8.1 client is not supported by SCCM 2012 without SP1. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigClientOS)
    If you are running SCCM 2012 SP1, check the RDP setting on the Windows 8.1 clients. The remote control is likely a shadowed RDP session.
    1.Apply the latest hotfix of RDP client components on Windows 8.1 client.
    Available updates for Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2821526
    2. Check the RDP related group policies (Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection) and registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal
    Services). Compared it to a working one and see if there is any difference. 
    3. Collect a netmon trace when the issue occurs will help address the network issue.
    Thanks.
