I recently installed Vista Enterprise. I haven't had any success
enabling remote desktop. First off, under the System Properties Remote
tab page, I've selected "Allow connections from computers running any
version of Remote Desktop (less secure)." Second, I made sure that I
enabled the Remote Desktop exception to Windows firewall. Third, all
Terminal Services related services are started. Fourth, running netstat
-an shows that the computer is listening on port 3389 on 0.0.0.0, but
not on 127.0.0.1, nor on my local network address assigned by the router.
Trying to probe the port from grc.com shows that it's stealth when
Windows Firewall is on but closed when Windows firewall is off. Trying
an unrelated program on a different port and allowing an exception
through the firewell showed that the port was open.
Is there anything that I may be overlooking?
TIA.
