Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

 

Internet Connection Sharing and Windows 7

I live in an area where dial up is the only internet available, therefore, I use ICS for my home network, which currently consists of 7 computers. 2 of them are running Ubuntu, 3 have Win 7 Ult 64 bit, one has Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The computer that dials up to the internet is running XP Pro 32 bit. I decided to update it to Win 7 Ult 32 bit. I installed another 1TB HDD and installed Win 7, all the drivers and so on. Got it connected to the internet and to my lan. The computer that I mainly use is one with Ult. 64 bit with the latest version of Firefox. Some webpages have been not loading correctly. They start to load then suddenly say that there is a content coding error and to contact the owner of the site. Among the several different web sites, TechPowerUp forums is one that acts this way. Some websites will load distorted. I can boot back into the XP drive, connect to the internet and no more problems. Pages load just fine. So, I'm wondering if I'm overlooking a setting on the ICS, or if it's a Win. 7 problem, or could it be that I'm using an old 3com ethernet adapter on the computer that connects to the internet ? It was probably brand new at the same time Windows 95 was. I have not noticed this problem on any of the other computers though.
