Windows 7 - Remote Assistance
Hello, i've got 1 machine that is unable to use RA. I can open the remote assistance program but as soon as i click on "use email to send an invitation" an error box appears with the following. title bar - Windows Remote assistance header - remote assistance can't make a connection error - the information entered could be incorrect, or you might not have a valid network conneciton. Verify the information that you entered, verify that you have a network connection, and then try again. I get the same error when attempting to save the file or use the easy connect. does anyone have any infomation on this? thanks in advance. Windows 7 - office 2010

· Hi, What operating system is installed on the host computer which you want to remotely assist? I suggest you read and try the suggestions on the article: Windows Remote Assistance: frequently asked questions. If a third party firewall is installed, you had better disable it temporarily to check the issue. If these computers are in a domain, please confirm with your domain administrator if remote assistance is allowed. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.

Both machines are running Windows 7 Enterprise and we do allow Remote Assistance. We have no firewalls on and this happens even if both machines are sitting on the same subnet inside the domain.

I wonder if there is a problem with the machine config that is affecting the RA session My MVP is for the Windows Desktop Experience, i.e. Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 IT Remote Assistance is available for a fee.
