    Remote Desktop works within local network but not from afar


    I’ve setup Remote Desktop on my Windows 10 PC and can connect to that PC from my IOS device when they’re on the same network. However, when I try to connect to the PC from outside that network I get errors like:0x30000b0x30000eOx204All telling me, essentially, that RDP can’t find the PC. Using the same credentials, both Google Chrome Remote Desktop and TeamViewer free version are both able to connect to my PC from another network. I’d prefer to use the native RDP if possible but can’t seem to get it to work.Any help greatly appreciate,r.

    :)

  2. Remote Desktop

    Okay guys need some help here before going crazy...
    I am trying to setup a remote desktop connection and see exactly what the logged on user is looking at with out going through Windows Remote Desktop.

    Since its local network I don't have any password or want to setup a password.

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    Remote Desktop works for my local network but not outside my local network

    My old home computer worked fine with remote desktop both in and out of my local network. I bought a new home computer with 11 pro, set up the remote desktop the same as in past and exactly as instructed and it works in my network, but does not work outside my network. I have the correct computer name and correct Pv4 IP address. When I try to connect outside my network with my computer name it says it can't find that name in the network. When I try to connect with my pv4 IP address it says I have been disconnected because another user has accessed my computer error code 0x516.

    I know remote desktop is enabled, I know I have the correct ipv4 address and computer name, I know my firewall will allow remote desktop. I have the same wifi router with port forwarding 3389 that still works with my old computer outside my network, but not my new computer outside my network.

    Please help.

    Remote Desktop works within local network but not from afar

    Remote Desktop through different network

    Hello,

    I'm trying to use Microsoft RD to connect to my home PC remotely.

    It all works when making a connection on the same network, but when I try to connect from a different network I always some sort of an error message.

    I'll mention that I CAN connect remotely using the Chrome Remote Desktop.

    On the PC I'm trying to connect to, I have:

    • purchased Windows 11 Professional
    • downloaded RD client from the Microsoft store
    • enabled remote connection in Settings (Settings->System->Remote Desktop->Enable, then added my email address under Remote Desktop users)
    • In the firewall settings, I enabled Remote Desktop, both on private and public networks
    • set up port forwarding from port 3389 to my local IP address (screenshot attached, I may have done something wrong...)

    Remote Desktop works within local network but not from afar 4e5b4bc3-188f-40c9-8ca1-1e1b73caa355?upload=true.png


    I have tried to connect by 3 different ways:

    1. Microsoft Remote Desktop (Apple Store app) on my Mac
    2. Microsoft Remote Desktop (Microsoft Store app) on another PC
    3. Remote Desktop Connection (built-in app on PCs) on another PC
    • In attempt 1, I tried in two ways:

      Writing down in "PC name" the public IP - I get error message 0x204: "We couldn't connect to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled."

      OR Writing down in "PC name" the local IP, and writing the public IP under gateway - I get error message 0x300005f: "An error occurred while communicating with the Remote Desktop Gateway. If this keeps happening, contact your network administrator for assistance".
    • In attempt 2, I tried in two ways:

      Writing down in "PC name" the public IP - I get error message 0x516: "You have been disconnected because another connection was made to the remote PC",

      OR Writing down in "PC name" the local IP, and writing the public IP under gateway - I get error message 0x50331743: "Something went wrong when we tried to connect. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help".
    • In attempt 3, I get the following error message (don't see any number):

      "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:

      1) Renote access to the server is not enabled

      2) The remote computer is turned off

      3) The remote computer is not available on the network

      Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled
    I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this issue, as I have been trying to find out the reason for it for over a year and still don't know what the problem is.

    Thank you very much.
