Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / February 2006RDC on ImacG5
Hi, I have installed RDC in order to acces my PC at work, from my home Imac G5. I get an immediate connection, but it doesn't connect to my Desktop but to the one of the Server and there is no way to get into my own files at work. What am I doing wrong? Rgds, Elebiemer Most likely, there is a firewall at your office, which points incoming rdc connections to a Terminal Server at the office. You will have to speak to your system administrator to see if they allow incoming rdc connections to workstations. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net SQL troubleshooting: http://sql.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ "Elebiemer" <Elebiemer@yahoo.it> wrote on 18 feb 2006 in microsoft.public.mac.rdc: > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Elebiemer Yes, there is a firewall but rdc connections are allowed as I can enter my desktop via a laptop running on Windows XP. Could it have something to do with Active X Control? When I try to connect via the webbrowser (Safari) I can get into outlook, but not into the remote desktop. When I try to open my desktop I get an error message saying I have to install Active X Control but that my brower settings prevent from doing this. > Most likely, there is a firewall at your office, which points > incoming rdc connections to a Terminal Server at the office.

You cannot install a Windows32 executable on a Mac, so you can't use a webbrowser to connect to your PC at work. But an rdp client should work.

I tried mounting the HD, RDC, and even pining; all were unsuccessful. I setup the PC to accept RDC, and am successfully able to connect to my mac from the PC. I tried turning off Windows Firewall altogether, as well as my antivirus software. I have the two machines connect to a router via ethernet. PLEASE HELP!!! thanks, Andy > Its nice to see that so many people are able to use RDC, I > unfortunately cannot talk to my PC from my Mac at all.

You can mount the volumes but until you use that ip number RDC won't connect. I spent several days trying until I noticed this advice. Still have not found the resriction in the documentation. That explains (maybe!) why I could never get RDC to connect to VPC as some have pointed out that RDC renders faster than VPC. |
