Windows 10: New laptop remote access issues

pinns73 · Sep 22, 2018

Hi

My friend has just bought a new Acer laptop and I'm trying to connect to it using Team Viewer so I can set it up for her

The problem is that her computer is not letting team viewer or any other program initiate a remote connection.

When team viewer is started the following message appears:

"No connection to team viewer server

Check your Internet connection, most likely you are using a proxy server and you have to enter the proper information in the options dialog."

I have made sure that remote access is checked in system properties and windows firewall has an exception for team viewer.

As I say this is a new laptop running Windows 10 home with default settings.

Any help would be much appreciated

hijacked via remote network access

Sounds like you are the recipient of stolen goods. All of our work laptops have this feature where it locks the BIOS and hard disk remotely if stolen, misplaced, or after a certain number of failed access attempts to the data on the disk without the TPM key.

I would suggest returning it to wherever you bought or got it.

Can't access remote laptop desktop

I have a big tower computer with an ASUS mobo, and an ASUS U50f laptop, both machines running Win 10 Creators Pro, and successfully private-networked together wirelessly via a Linksys E1200 modem. I can run remote desktop on the laptop to access & use the tower, but not access the laptop via remote desktop from the tower, even though its Explorer shows the files & folders on the laptop, so networking is going between them. I think I have all the remote desktop settings right on both machines. There seems to be something obscure mis-set on the laptop that's blocking remote desktop from the tower. I see the right rules and turn-ons for address 3386 in the laptop's firewall. Suggestions? Thanks!
