problems wth my remote desktop connection

Posted: 09-18-2003, 04:49 PM
i am a beginner at remote desktop, and i wanna estable a
remote desktop connection between my windows xp which is
the host and a a client pc which is windows 2000
professional. My host is connected to the internet with a
cable modem and the clieant pc is coonected with a lan to
my host pc. I have installed my remote desktop client on
the windows 2000 professional pc and enables remote
desktop on my windows Xp. I get an error when trying to
connect. Is there anything else i have to configure on
any of the pc's by the way i am using ICS too and i have
a firwall on the host (windows XP) for the internet.
Help would be appreciated alot.
Thanks.
Tahir.

What error message do you get? Port 3389 is the only port that needs to be
open.

Hi Tahir!

Remote Desktop uses Port 3389.
Open the port in the firewall if it is the build-in firewall in XP that you
use.

Log on as administrator to XP from 2000, with administrator password.
If you use another user account, remember to give access for that account.

Remember to activate Remote Desktop in: Control Panel \ System \ Remote \
Remote Desktop ( mark the check-box ).

Remember to use internal IP and not external since you are working in a
closed network enviroment.

Try this first and return later if this doesn't work.

JAZ
