Hello,

I'm getting a strange error with remote desktop. I've set it up for my users
and selected the allow users tick box but when one of the clients tries to
connect it doesn't work. I put in the machine name, click connect but nothing
happens. If I try connection to a different machien it works fine. Anyone
know how to resolve this?

Regards

Chris

Which version of XP are you running?

Also, I had a similar problem on my XP Pro at home. Turned out my
video card drivers disabled Remote Desktop. A revised version of the
video card drivers fix it for me.

hi there!

lets start off with a few environment checks.

-mosy on over to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server within regedit and make sure that fDenyTSConnections = 1.

-ensure that windows firewall is either off or has an allow rule for TCP 3389

-ensure that the users in question are within the "remote desktop users" group on the local machine.

if all of that doesnt fix it... application debugging

-download and run Wireshark on the host/server computer, add a filter rule to only show traffic for the IP address of the client computer. now connect with a client system, paste your output here.

-whats your version of %SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe? mine is 6.0.6000.16386

-Do you have any non-standard entries in your hosts file? -> %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
