Dear Dave!

What OS is on your desktop?
Probably You can get a newer mstsc client from microsoft.

Are the connections enabled on the target box well?

Here is a question: I enabled RDC in regedit in VistaU, but when i tried to connect from XP it wrote: “Couldn’t connect..”.

Does it enable “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication” or “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop”?

How in Regedit enable “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop”?

I have two computers, one a laptop and one a desktop. They are both on the same router/network. Both running Vista 32 Ultimate.

I can Remote Desktop from my laptop to my home computer (also running Vista, router enabled for RD and fully password protected). In fact, I can do that from anywhere I travel.

I cannot RD into my home computer from my desktop.

Wha? Same network, same OS, same target home computer, very different results. Interesting note? I can ping the DNS name for my public IP address within a CMD window on the laptop, but not on my desktop. I checked the firewall settings, and RD is enabled.

Help?
Signed,
Completely stumped.

As Karen noted above, I also do not see the second section. I’ve visited several websites and they all show that second section, but this is now visible on my dialog box. Is there some other step that must be completed first prior to these options showing up?

Thank you

I’m looking at this exact dialog and it does not have the second section ‘Remote Desktop’. Despite having the first part enabled, I am unable to connect to my Vista computer from my XP computer.
