Remote Desktop Connection
Hey Guys and Ladies.
I have been having issues setting up my machine for RDC. The times that I've tried connecting to my home computer from my work computer, it keeps asking me for Credentials. I have been looking all over the internet, and in this forum, for how to get those credentials it is asking for or how to disable it. But to no avail, I haven't been able to work around this issue.
I am hoping that maybe one of you can point me to the right direction. I am sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but I couldn't find anything like this on the forum.
This is what I did to set up my RDC:
1. Completely turned off my Windows Firewall (just in case I didn't get the settings correct)
2. Enabled my machine to be controlled remotely
3. Configured my router (did a port forwarding: 3389)
4. Created a Static IP Address
5. Verified my local IP for the RDC
My home computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate and my work computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise.
What am I missing, or what am I doing wrong? I'd like to inform you all that this is my first time trying this RDC option. My IT knowledge is at an entry level.
Thank all who respond.
