Remote Desktop issues
Hello,I have windows xp machines on my domain that have no problem being connect to via Remote Desktop. However, every last one of my vista machines will NOT allow remote desktop connections. I always get the error message "This computer can not connect to the remote computer". However, I can connect to the vista machines if I am at work on my domain. This only happens when using VPN from any location outside of our local network. The firewall isn't the issue either, we have had the firewalls disable and enabled, same issue.Please advise. I should also mention I am attempting to connect to these vista machines from another vista machine.

Hi, Have you tried to connect with Remote Desktop from VPN via the computer name or the IP address? I suggest that you try both method. The following articles may help you to troubleshoot this issue.
