1) Like stated, you need to enable incoming connections on your computer. To do that you need to go into control panel, system, allow remote acces to your computer.
2) If you have a router you need to get in it (usually http://192.168.1.1) and go to "Applications and gaming." In there you need to add RDC to the apps list, then 3389 to the start and end ports, and your computers IP in the last part (which is found by going to Network and sharing, then the network you're in's Details and you're looking for the ipv4 address (in this example, 192.168.1.1xx).
3) To make connections easier, you should look into sites like DynDns.com where you can turn your internet ISP address (not to be confused with the router address) into a xxx.dyndns.com thats easier to remember.
4) Once all that is done you should be able to connect. On your TP2 RDC screen you should have:
Computer - ISP address or your created xxx.dyndns.ws
User Name - Name on your account as you log into the computer
Password - Password to your login
Domain - Empty
If you have more specific questions, let me know. |
Followed allthese steps and also allowed the port to be forwarded in mcafee and windows firewall. Keep getting this error
"Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1 remote computer is not set up for this
2 reached maxium number of connections
3 a network error occured while connecting"
Other info, not sure if necessary
