Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / November 2007New Macbook with RDC Beta connecting to work's XP
Hi there: From home, I was able to connect to my office PC using RDC on my old G4. I just bought a new macbook, downloaded the latest RDC and I get the "windows based computer cannot be found" when I type my office PC's IP address. 1. I tried using another wireless connection other than my home connection and it still doesn't work. 2. I can connect to my pc with my mac at the office when I type my computer's name in RDC when logged into our wireless network at work. Our system guys think it a firewall issue on my new macbook. Any thoughts? I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks for any help. J > Hi there: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > J I am having a similar issue. Do you know if you have to set any specific router settings to allow the RDC to work with the mac? When I plug the Mac into the network cable on my desk I can login via RDC using either the ethernet and my server number or alternatively, I can login into the VPN and use the VPN computer. However, when I log in at home, I can access the VPN normally, but the RDC cannot find the VPN computer. My PC can access the network using RDP/VPN from home without issue. This has the smell of a routing issue. D On Nov 27, 10:06 am, dk...@namsa.com wrote: > > Hi there: > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > - Show quoted text - This was solved. In the advanced settings, the button to select "Send all traffic through the VPN" needed to be selected. I had actually tried setting this option to that before without success. Previously I had made the change, selected apply, reconnected the VPN and it did not work. The trick was to select the option, apply it, then immediately reboot the Mac. Apparently the change in VPN settings did not take until the machine had rebooted. D |
