Home Forums Discussions Problems Remote Desktop Win 7 - need help

Hi Folks,

I have a new Win7 machine, but I have not been able to get RDP to work within our small network.

It does not work within the intrAnet. So I think it is a problem with the new machine configuration. (but in anycase the router is setup, because we can RDP to other machines on this network from the outside.)

I am able to RDP from the desktop i am sitting at to other machines (SBS2011 essential server or winXP), but not to the new machine.

It seems like the connection is refused, because it happens immediately; there is no wait for a timeout error. I try RDP with the computer name and also the IP address. I get this error:


I can see the new Win7 machine on the network (name is Karima-Desktop)


I have turned on RDP on the machine and added users for login:



The machine is part of a WORKGROUP and not a domain:


And it seem that it is listening on port 3389:


This is how I am trying to connect, and also by ip as mentioned above without login name.



What am I doing wrong or missing?

Thanks in advance!
