Target machine is XP home, and I am trying to access it from a Windows 8 machine. Both are wireless, and are in the same workgroup.
I get the "Remote Desktop can't connect" message using either the computer name or the current IP address
I can ping the address
RDC is enabled on target
I can set up a Remote Assistance connection with no problem
Windows firewall has RDC allowed. If I try to add port 3389, firewall says it is already allowed. Turning firewall off does not help.
In the registry RDC is assigned to port 3389
When I netstat, there is no TCP 0.0.0.0.3389 LISTENING result, although other ports are listening
I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me.
