This is pis sing me off. It shouldn't be this difficult.
I have a Windows 8 computer that I want to remote into from a Win7 box. It's only on a local network. When I'm on a Win7 box and try to connect to the Win8, I get the dreaded "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: bla bla bla. I do not get the logging window. Yes, I enabled remote desktop on the Win8. When I go to the Win8 and try to access the Win7, I get the login window. I checked both firewall settings and they are good.
Summary: Win8 can remote into Win7. Win7 cannot remote into Win8. I do not get the pop-up window when trying to remote into Win8, only the message of, "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network.- Edited by IbanezWizMicrosoft community contributor Sunday, August 25, 2013 7:25 PM
