Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / January 2008remote desktop thru vpn
i am trying to connect through remote desktop on xp pro at home to my office (xp pro also) thru a vpn connection. I keep getting that general message about "network can't connect to remote computer, remote may not be enabled, etc". I have tried shutting all security, still doesn't work. I know the setup is correct because i set it up the vpn on a friends computer who has xp pro as a test and there was no problem with remote desktop. The only difference I can see is that their connection is through cable and mine is DSL-can that be the cause somehow? If not what else can I try? The source defintely seems to be the home computer. Can you telnet remote computer port 3389?

If the remote desktop is enabled and windows firewall doesn't block the port 3389, I would check the other security software. For troubleshooting, start the computer with clean boot.
