i am trying to establish a RDC to a VM in VMWare. I can ping the Machine and RDC is enabled on the VM. The Interface is bridged, but it still is not working. Any idea, what i could have missed?
Edit: The Reason was, that i used the IP instead of the Machines Name. Don´t know why, but now i will always try to connect with IP AND Machine Name :/

Disable firewall on guest machine.
Make sure you have password set for the local admin account on the Guest machine.

They are disabled on both machines and admin passwords are set. – Simons0n – 2012-11-12T13:55:53.330
1Have you tried telnet "Guest machine hostname" 3389? If you get blinking cursor - then the connection is Ok.
Are you connecting via hostname or IP-address? Try both variants. – Volodymyr M. – 2012-11-12T13:56:32.917
The problem was the IP Adress, using the machines name fixed the problem... – Simons0n – 2012-11-12T14:09:03.233

Check the firewall on both the host and the VM and turn it off. There is another way to check the connectivity - just share a folder on the VM and access it on the host machine.

The firewalls are turned of on both machines. And the networkshare works from the host and the machine i want to connect with. – Simons0n – 2012-11-12T13:49:52.063

You should not have to disable any firewalls. Are you trying to connect via an IP address or a PC name - have you tried both? In the target machine have you selected to allow connections from any PC or only those using network level authentication?

It works now =) I don´t know why, but the Problem was, that i tried to establish the connection via IP. When i used the Machines Name, the connection worked :/ – Simons0n – 2012-11-12T14:05:28.923
@BJ292 put that as an answer, I think OP will accept it. – avirk – 2012-11-12T14:15:52.563
