Hi Everyone,
I was trying to enable the remote desktop using the following setting.

Control Panel => Network connections => Local Area Connection => Properties
=> Advanced Tab => Settings Button(below)
Enable the remote desktop server.

And when I press the ok button after doing above, I get the following error.

"an error occurred while internet connection sharing is enabled. the file
name,directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect"

I tried different things, but I keep getting the same error. Can some one
tell me what is the issue or problem and how I can resolve this.

A quick response is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Enable Remote Desktop or add an exception in the Windows Firewall for Remote
Desktop? The latter is what it seems your trying to do.
