Unable to establish Remote Desktop Connection Windows 7
Hi,
Long time linux user, but first day of working remotely from home today so went out and bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium this morning.
I am trying to access my work PC remotely after doing a fresh install of windows and receiving the below:
"Remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network
Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled."
I have established some sort of VPN connection through the browser with work (sorry I am not very technically inclined, icon says "network connect" in the taskbar and shows I am conected), our techie guy said then just run Remote Desktop and type in my computer name and should connect, which it is not.
I phoned a work buddy who is working remotely who said he can ping my work machine no problem.
I tried disabling the firewall but this has not helped.
Any ideas?
