Windows 10: Remote Desktop Cant connect to the internet (Not talking about failing to connect to the...

So im having this weird issue, im connecting to a pc over my lan using RDC but for some reason, once ive connected, my internet connection on the remote pc is extremely limited, i can access sites like Twitter and youtube, although they take forever to load and youtube just stays on the loading page. Other apps like steam or Spotify think i dont have internet access aswell. Logging in normally to the PC, i do have normal internet access, its only once i connect remotely does the issue come up, Iv checked network settings, dns settings etc, i can visit sites that are located within my LAN such as the router config page or some self hosted sites like Jellyfin or IIS but nothing external. Anyone know what the issue may be?

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.

 

Remote Desktop Connection / Win XP

to connect you'll either need to know the machines internet IP address and have ports forwarded, or use hamachi.

I find hamachi easier, as it doesnt matter if the internet IP address changes - you just use the hamachi one.


FYI, logging in via remote desktop is a "one at a time" deal. If he's logged in and you initiate a remote desktop connection, he will be logged out - so he cant see what you're doing, and vice versa.

 

Failing to set up remote desktop connection.

Welcome to TenForums Slicey


When you enabled RDC on the W7 PC, did you add the W7 user account you intend to use to the list of users allowed remote access to the W7 PC? (required if the user isn't an administrator)

Also, make sure you didn't select 'Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication', that won't work on a home network.
