    Has anyone tried remote desktop with windows x64. I cannot connect inside my network or outside to my comp that has x64 on it. Although all other computers within the network have no problem connecting via remote desktop to one another including one with windows server 2003. I have also tried changing the ports for remote desktop with no luck. Any ideas?

    Hm.

    I'm running x64, but I never tried doing remote desktop on it. I keep it disabled on all of my XP computers for security reasons.

    Do you have all the latest windows updates installed on both PC's you are trying to do remote desktop on?
