Remote Connection on Vista Help please

Hi all,
I am trying to get a remote connection without success any advice please.
We are running Windows Vista and the Pc i am trying to access is on a wireless dongle in the same office.

I can connect to the internet OK on the wireless Pc just can't connect the main PC to it remotely.

Step by step please

thanks all

 

Hello HullStorage.

The PC you are trying to access is it also a Vista PC or is it Windows XP?
Also has remote connections been enabled on the PC your attempting to connect to?
Do you have the appropriate ports open on your software/hardware firewall?
And last, are both you and the other PC within the same network?

Thanks,

 

yes both on vista and on same network

they are also both remote connection enabled ( i think )

you've lost me about ports though

 

Well, typically under your Windows Firewall, you would need to either allow the Remote Connection, or open ports TCP 135 (I do believe), and that also will do it.

To be on the safe side and testing purposes, try disabling both of the Windows Firewalls, and try again.
