Potential client running win8.0 (trying to avoid 8.1) Pavilion g6
Potential host runnin Win7 pro (fully updated) and the same desktop is the host of the wifi I'm using.
So far working:
-Remote desktop from win8 into win7 (wireless).
-Folder sharing both ways (no homegroup, but direct sharing) (wireless).
** Allthough, while uploading from Win7 into Win8 it occassionally looses connection, failing upload. However downloading same files from Win8 using same network works flawless. Also again using win7 sometimes doesn't find folders until using premade shortcuts. Maybe relevant, or not.
Problem:
While trying to use Remote Desktop from Win7 desktop into Win8 Pavilion laptop I get that "...one of these reasons" error.
This while rightclicking on the win8 pc in the win7 view of the network (choosing remote desktop option), so I know that the name is spelled right, it's in the network!!!
So far tried:
Setting up win8 to receive remote desktop as given here in these forums, allthough while on
SystemProperties-->Remote-->Advanced I do NOT get the remote desktop menu view, only Remote Assistant settings with hour setup and such.
Tried to connect:
-Both firewalls down, also client Avast down.
-From the network with right mouse click.
-Manually inputting the computer name into Remote Desktop
Hope there is enough to give something fresh to try.
Ty for helps
PS. These PC's are not on the same WIFI, only same network. I Don't know how to get the network host into it's own wifi network. For example, I can't get my iPhone to connect wireless into iTunes because they are not connected into the same wifi, only win8 is "connected" in the wifi, win7 is "merely" sending it, at least that's how I've understood the problem why I must upload/download stuff with manual wire connection with my phone.
