Remote access config

Hi folks,

tsclient on workstation to monitor Vista
Windows Vista 32bit
RDP
LAN connection/WAN connection

I tried following steps to config Vista testing LAN connection on tsclient without success.


Windows Vista
=========

Start -> Computer right click -> Properties - Remote settings -> System Properties -> Remote tab

Remote Assistance
[check] Allow Remote Assistance connectins to this computer -> Advanced

Remote Control
[check] Allow this computer to be controlled remotely

Invitations
Set the maximum amount of time invitatin can remain open
[6] [Hours]


Remote Desktop
[check] Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication(more secure)


-> Apply -> OK


Security

Start -> Control Panel -> Security -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions

[check] Remote Assistance
[check] Remote Desktop

Can't find RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)

Other available relevant items;
Remote Service Management [not check]
Routing and Remote Access [not check]
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol [not check]


Shall I do anything on [Add port ....] ?


ipconfig
Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Link-local IPv6 Address:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1



Monitoring workstation
===============

tsclient:
Terminal Server Client

General
Computer - (nothing on the drop list)
Protocol - RDP/RDPv5
User Name - blank
Password - blank
Domain - blank
Client Hostname - blank

Tried following entries
Computer - ip address of Vista/computer_name

Fail to connect

Advice on configuring Vista would be appreciated. TIA

Solved

Hi folks,

Problem solved as follows;

Vista
===

Windows Firewall Settings
-> Exceptions
[check] File and Printer Sharing


Start -> Computer (right-click) -> Properties -> Remote settings

System Properties -> Remote
[check] Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer
[check] Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)


If Vista is behind a router
forward port 3389 to Vista LAN ip-address


Monitoring/Admin workstation (Linux)
===================

tsclient;
Terminal Server Client
Computer LAN ip_address (WAN public_ip_address)
Protocol RDP
-> Connect

Vista connected and displayed on Linux PC


Remark:
I can't make "Allow connections from computer running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)" to work.

Any folk on the forum having experience please shed me some light. TIA
