Ruscik Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Guys I am new here and newbie in relation to IT and servers (changing my skills right now). I have a problem. Got some old PC's to help me train in getting MCITP. I had setup server 2008 no problems. Can connect to it via remote desktop using cable connection. PC's did not have Wireless cards and as my entire house is wireless I got a USB wifi card. It is connecting to network, gets IP, I can ping it and use internet but not remote desktop. It states computer not found. I had enabled remote desktop to allow all connections. I had also disabled cabled network card but that did not help. Any ideas? Cheers Lukas Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted January 28, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted January 28, 2009 Make sure the firewall allows connections for RDP on the wireless adapter. Try disabling the firewall on the client. If you then can connect you'll have to configure the firewall to allow RDP through the wireless connection. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Ruscik Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Done that firewall was off on client still no go. Firewall in win2k08 is off by default. Any other ideas? It is not IP range related as I have swapped IP with the cable connection, disabled cable connection after that and still no go. Switched off firewall in windows vista and in server still no go.

FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 2, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted February 2, 2009 Is this wireless N by chance? I just installed a wireless N card in one of my computers to take advantage of the higher speeds and the wireless N router I just added to my network. I can not connect with RDP to any of my servers. Not even the Windows 2003 servers that I still have online. I can connect via wireless B/G and cable. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Ruscik Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Not only N all of them. Funny is I run VPC of Windows XP on it and I can RDP to that and RDP from it to server?! Quote
