RDP to windows 7 doesnt work
Posted on 2013-06-27
Dear experts,
I have a very strange problem. I try to RDP from a windows 7 laptop to a windows 7 desktop. But whatever i do, it seems to fail.
- I opened port 3389 on the windows firewall.
- Unistalled every peace of anti-virus / firewall software i could find.
- Checked all services.
- Made sure that remote connection is allowed.
- even tried disabling the windows firewall.
Nothing worked. Can anyone help me?

right click computer - properties - remote
select the second option as in the image below
also, press select users and add users allowed to connect (try with everyone and grant all access)

Once I had the same problem, I stopped the RDP Service by saying "Dont Allow to this computer".
And restart the PC.
We then come back to enable remote access.

Did you forward ports on the router.

Run this command on both compute to find out whether the rdp port is listening
netstat -a | find "3389"
or netstat -aon | more
Post screenshot of both systems.

Post the version of windows 7 on pc 1. RDP feature is not supported in windows 7 home premium.
You can connect from pc1 to pc2 but not pc2 to pc1 based on the screenshot that you have uploaded.
Also make sure all RDP related services are started and running. You can use teamviewer for free for personal use.

Under System Properties -> Remote Tab
Basically turn off RDP Access, restart and turn it back on :)

I did not make a screenshot cause everything is in german. I hate it. adding the registry keys was succesfull but after reboor it still doesnt find the 3389 port.
Make sure are Rdp services are running ..terminal services.
Make sure you have allowed rdp in windows firewall.
First ..run this command
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
then run this
reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentContro
Connections
it doesnt matter if its in german..post screenshot.
then run this ...no need to reboot the system
netstat -a | find "3389"
and this
netsh firewall show state
post screenshot.
Reboot is not required.

part 4 was the solution. Somehow the port was 3390 instead of 3389. thanks for all the good help.
