Remote Desktop Issue Maurice 12/23/2008 1:46:01 AM Have a vista desktop and two laptops on the same subnet. Laptop A can RDP to the vista machine but not Laptop B. Laptop B can be pinged from Laptop A. Laptop B has allowed remote desktop accessibility, has firewall configured for remote desktop as well. It is my understanding that no additional ports need be opened. How can one troubleshoot this?
