I've my office computer which is connected to my university wifi account. Whatever I do I'm not able to connect to my Office PC. I have enabled remote desktop and I have put all firewall on off. This is on windows 8, I would really appreciate guidance on how I can trouble shoot the issue. I'm trying to do remote desktop connection to my office pc which is windows 8 from my laptop which has windows 7. My wireless network should have some kind of firewalls, but I do not have the details to that. If anybody can tell how I can find it, I'll get and update the question. Office PC is located at my school which is 20 minutes from my place.
Not enough info in question yet to really help... Can you add more information about both computers as well as network layout? Are there additional firewalls between you and your computer? Are both computers running windows? What ssh server are you running on the office pc? – Brian Adkins – 2013-09-29T02:25:19.700
when you say "Office PC", do you mean the PC in your office at your workplace, halfway across town, or do you mean the one in your home office, down the hall from your present location, 1st door on the right? – Frank Thomas – 2013-09-29T02:39:17.757
Have you talked with the University's IT department? They likely have RDP blocked from external networks. VPN would likely be required as step 1. – Austin T French – 2013-09-29T04:30:12.443
