Windows 10: Remote Login from different network

Hello! If I install Win 11 PRO on a laptop at work and enable Remote Login, can I take my other laptop home win 11 home and remote in to my laptop at work? The laptops will be on different networks. I thought I read somewhere that they have to be on the same network but I'm not sure. Thank You!

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...)
  

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.

 

Remote Desktop Login Failed

I just purchased a new Windows 11 system and I am using another Windows 11 system on my laptop to access the system through remote desktop and I get an error that says that the login failed. Something in the new Windows 11 system is blocking logins from remote desktop:

• I am using my standard Windows credentials to login locally. I have Administrator rights to the system, and a local login works fine.
  
• I can use Remote Desktop to login to another similar Windows 11 desktop using remote desktop with the same credentials and that also works fine.
  
• I've enabled Remote Desktop access in settings and specified my account as being authorized to login with Remote Deskttop.
  

I've gone through all the support articles I could find on the internet on this problem and I implemented the group policy fixes that have been recommended but it still hasn't resolved the problem. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

 

Remote Desktop Login: login settings are missing

I have a question about remote desktop login: Two of our clients (Lenovo notebooks) do not have the login settings (user name, request login information).








RemoteDesktop-Version: Shellversion 10.0.19041

Both notebooks are in a Windows domain. They can connect different computers via RemoteDeskop, but for some connections RemoteDesktop crashes without an error message. And all of this with different connections: e.g. CientA can connect to ServerX, but ClientB cannot. The connection to ServerY works with ClientB, but not with ClientA. I have already deleted and recreated the login information several times, but without success. Win10Prof version and updates are the same for both notebooks. I couldn't find any differences in the group policies either. Both Windows users are local admins.

Very strange for me is: If you call mstsc via the command line (cmd) with the option /v:servername, the connection works correct, the window for the credentials appears





I can change user and password and the connection works fine.

Thanks for help, Guenter
