Remote Assistance Problem

[maximusimo]

Hi,

i work on a PowerMac although i use Remote Desktop Connection from it to work on the Small Business Server 2003. For a few weeks now, instead of me having to go around each machine manually when there is a problem (all XP machines) I have just been going into Server Management > Client Computers > Offer Remote Assistance and typing in the computers name or ip address in the Offer Remote Assitance dialog box. Now this had been working perfectly up until yesterday and i cant figure out what the problem could be. To eliminate possible problems with the Remote Desktop i also tried it directly on the Server but with no luck. Any ideas?

Max.

Take a look at the Windows Firewall settings.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Well I went to a client machine and sent a remote invitation from there via a saved file in a shared folder. on the server i could open this and so connect to the clients computer with no probs. it is obvious something has changed on the server but still cant figure out what.
