Remote assistance problem by Woraug on 01-14-2007 at 03:46 PM
I've been having problems with remote assistance ever since I installed 8.0
Other people can connect to, and control my desktop, but I can't connect to theirs. I get no window, and they tell me that the window comes up and hangs at "connecting". I have remote assistance enabled in the remote settings, everyone I've tried with is using 8.0, we're both using XP Pro, ect. I've tried to enable everything I can think of, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried this?

Have you looked in your firewall settings?

I tried adding the reg entry, still nothing, and I have the Windows firewall disabled.

Do THEY have THEIR firewall on?
Firewalls are, of course, supposed to block stuff they see are dangerous.
I hope this isn't spam

Are you behind a router? I find whenever I try to connect to someone I have to remove my PC from the router first. I am too lazy to setup port forwarding.

No router, their firewalls off.
