Hi,

I've been tryng to connect to another win xp professional machine with
remote desktop connection. When I enter the IP and various other info and hit
connect I get:

The client could not establish a connection to the remote computer

1 rc might not be enabled
2 max no of connections reached
3 network error

Now i've read through the majority of the posts and seem to have not found a
fix to my problem, these are the things i've tried:

diasabled firewall / anti virus software
configured the firewalls (when on) to allow ports 3389 and 80
installed win xp service pack 2 then uninstalled it :)
shut down IIS
connected with remote desktop to the machines in my lan pc1, pc2 and lappy.

please help :) i have spent over 24 hours

Click to expand...

With the firewall disabled on the XP Pro machine - can you PING it?
Remote desktop *is* enabled on the XP Pro machine, right?
There are users on the machine with passwords, right?
And those users are either admins are in the Remote Desktop Users group?
 
hello :)

The machine im using to connect has remote desktop installed now we have
been given the details such as IP, username and password for the machine we
want to connect to. This is a working machine as one of the guys in another
office connected to it straight away their is something wrong on my side of
things.

I hope that answers your questions...

thanks for the help ;)
 
If the target machine can be connected to from a third location, I agree
that likely it is something about your location that is the issue.

Do you know that traffic on port 3389, TCP, is allowed outbound at your
location?
