I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on my main PC connected to router by a cable and my wireless laptop runs Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. I installed additional Microsoft Office components and now Remote Desktop will not connect to the main PC.
With the computer name Wilson-PC, I get the error Remote Desktop cannot find the computer Wilson-PC.
When I use the IP 192.168.1.70 I get an error with the 3 following options: Remote access not enabled, Remote computer turned off, Remote Computer not available on network, however when I run ping in Command Prompt I get ping reply OK.
I have checked and Remote Access is Enabled and Firewall allows Remote access.
Here is ipconfig's output
C:\Users\Wilson>ipconfig
