| | Go to this post and follow the instructions completely for it to work. Windows 7 Starter can only be connected to, and can not start a connection to another computer. Following the post will allow you to bypass this: Log into multiple RDP sessions and without interrupting user |

| | thanks for the replies. slasher...i am using the windows starter machine to connect to the windows professional machine. everything works fine when i have shut down the firewall on the windows professional machine. for some reason the firewall is not allowing remote desktop connection even though it is an allowed exception. |

| | to be honest i was a little unsure of using the hack. i have windows 7 professional, not home premium. anyway, i wound up configuring windows firewall to open the port # i have chosen (not the default port # windows defines) and all seems fine. i'm not sure why simply allowing remote desktop connection in the exception rules didn't work. i had to create a new incoming rule. not sure this is the best solution, but it is working. |

| | The hack is completely 100% safe, used on all my computers, which run different Windows 7 versions. So, is your problem solved? |

| | yes, problem seems to be solved. i created a new rule in windows firewall allowing incoming tcp connection through the port number i have chosen for rdc. thanks for your help! |
