One Windows 10 machine, trying to rdp into a windows 8 machine.
On the windows 10 machine, I go to file explorer, click network, my 2nd pc pops up. I can double click it to see the user folder and the desktop files etc. but when I right click on the 2nd pc and click remote desktop it wont connect. It says "remote access is not enabled to the server, the remote computer is turned off, the remote computer is not available on the network"
I went onto the windows 8 machine, pushed windows key + pause. Opened remote settings, "allow remote connections" is enabled. The account on the windows 8 machine is administrator. When I ping the windows 8 machine from my windows 10 machine, I get a response. So I can ping the windows 8 machine from my windows 10 machine, and I can access the files via wifi from my windows 10 machine. I just cant rdp. Why not?
Sounds like a firewall issue to me – pun – 2016-12-20T05:14:25.127
Just checked the firewall. by default theres 4 different entries for port 3389. I enabled all of them. Still wont let me connect – adamrihanna – 2016-12-20T05:20:31.427
Can you telnet to port 3389? – PulseJet – 2016-12-20T05:28:02.837
I tried to telnet. It just said "connecting to 12.12.1.132........" then like 4 minutes later it press any key to continue and closed. – adamrihanna – 2016-12-20T05:42:02.693
