Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / May 2008Remote Desktop Connecting To Wrong PC
Hello all, We use Windows SBS 2003, workstations are XP Pro. I have a strange problem with VPN/Remote Desktop Connection. When connected to VPN from outside our network, or even connected directly to our network, I try to Remote to PC013, but it actually connects to PC-0030 (a completely different PC). If I connect by IP address, it will go to the correct PC, but not if I use the PC name. Any idea of what might be causing this? Thanks, David This is name resolution issue. I would check the record in DNS or WINS if you have one.
