OK, i have been working on this on and off for a couple hr's, anyone (Jani) have any ideas?

Have remote desktop set up, i have the ports changed, have the windows components installed and set up.. i also have no-ip set up so that i can log in from a computer that is not on my network.. but where i am at right now is... i can log in using my internal IP AKA: 192,168.*.*:Port/tsweb and use my login and password.. works fine.. however when i use my no-ip setting to log in, it brings it up correctley, and gives me the login screen.. but it says "Make sure your user name and domain are correct, retype password ect ect" WTF is causing that to happen? i know i typed it in right.

Any thoughts would be helpfull.

Feel free to ask questions, i will answer as best i can

 

If you are trying to log in Via a remote computer off the private network you will need to setup port forwarding.

You will also need to assign a user to remote desktop so they can log in.

 

Ports are set via the router and the Internet information services

And i do have 2 users set up for remote, one is an Admin on the computer

I have gone through this a couple times http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...p_03may16.mspx and still cant find the problem.

Thanx for the input

 

i havent messed with remote desktop much. h:

if i read correctly, everything set up works, except for the user/pass?

 

ok, first of all, do you have a domain setup locally? if so, use domain\username. if not, try computername\username in the username box. Considering that you are actually seeing the login box, your port forwarding is correct...its a permissions issue. In addition, make sure that your user is a member of the remote desktop group and that you have a password set since rdp requires a password....

 

i found the problem, my brother has a remote desktop set up also, if i kill his port forwarding, it works fine. i think i will have to set it up to use a listening port other than 3389 to make 2 computers work on at the same time. Seems kinda strange though as we are using diffrent ports for everything else..

Looks like i have some reg-editing to do tonight

 

Good call, i may re enstate the port forwarding on my brothers computer, and try logging in like that.. sounds like it may work

 

so, you were actually hitting his computer?

Easy solution, run VNC server and setup the port in your firewall. much easier than changing RDP on both ends.

 

there are other porgrams that make remote desktop connections easy

Radmin is one.... needs both client and server software though.

logmein.com is easy to use too.

 

yea, computer/user and domain/user did not work, i am singling out ports that i am letting forward to make sure which one is the problem, i am sure it is 3389 though
