Hi - i have a Windows 7 machine, that i connect to a Windows Vista Ultimate machine via RDP. it seems every day it connects when it wants to, and then doesnt later on the same day. For example, this morning i was able to successfully connect, and now i cant. It just hangs on &quot;initiating remote connection&quot;, and then just dies giving the attached error - i have port 3389 forwarded on the router, remote access enabled on the vista machine, and made sure the port was opened in windows firewall. the internal IP address is static as well, and the port forwarding is configured for that IP correctly. I'm just wondering if theres something else i need to check or do - obviously its connecting because DO connect sometimes.Also, when i started NOT being able to connect, i created a logmein account and set it up on that machine - cant find anything different, even rebooted. still cant connect - any advice would be helpful.

intermittent RDP connection problem

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
