windows10 wont RDP to work PC.

[OutHouse]

ok this is stupid and i cant find anything on the MS blogs. I was able to establish a VPN connection to our sonicwall VPN at work, authenticated, and enterened in my token. even have the connected icon in the taskbar. so i know i am connected.

but when I kick off a RDP session to any machine i get the error that that the remote machine is not available. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

i know there is nothing wrong with vpn, i can get in with my droid and my laptop.

has anybody experienced this and know of what stupid setting i need to enable to get RDP connected?

firewalls are turned off.

Can you ping your workstation @ work? I've experienced cases with Windows 7 (not yet using 10 for work) where it would establish a connection, but not pass data through it properly. When it would happen, I wouldn't be able to ping an IP address on the inside of my work network.

Using Sonicwall VPN here too - worked fine for me though.

Did it prompt you to upgrade your VPN client? I got a prompt but haven't upgraded. I think if the client is too much newer than the VPN server, that can cause problems.

I'm having the opposite problem. Upgraded Win8 Pro + WMC to Windows 10 Pro, now I can't access my computer via RDP.

Tried from the stored profile on the official Microsoft Remote Desktop app for iOS. Tried from my Win7 Pro workstation. Can't connect. I routinely connected from my iPad and Win7 workstation multiple times per day and it worked fine before I installed Win10 on the host machine.

Remote Desktop is still enabled. I tried disabling and re-enabling. I made sure there was still an exception in the Windows Firewall. I haven't tried completely disabling the Windows Firewall.

Checked it out again when I got back home. Windows started treating the wired connection to my PC as a public network. Fixed that by toggling the "find devices..." option and it's working fine now.
