Windows 10: Remote Desktop connects via WiFi, but not using Cellular

Hello,


I have had only success setting up connections to office systems running Windows 10 Remote Desktop when I am on my iPhone over wireless.


Cell connections also worked fine, until today.


Now, if I try to connect over cellular, the iPhone displays "Initiating Remote Connection" with a spinning progress icon, but no connection if ever made. But cellular connection to the same systems fails every time (with a reasonably strong cell signal and full browsing success.)


Thanks for any help sorting this out,


Lothar

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.
