Firewall Configuration for Windows Remote Desktop

Hello,

I'm trying to establish a remote desktop connection between two computers on a local network.  One is a Win 7 64 bit sys running Norton 360 V20.1.3.22 - this is local machine (accessing the other).  The other is a Win XP system running Norton IS - same version.  This is the remote machine.

I've noticed that I CAN make the RDP connection if I disable the Norton Smart Firewall on the Win XP machine.

I've researched a ton of posts here and in other places related to RDP and Norton IS, but haven't found specify info on how to properly configure the firewall to allow this connection.

 

Any help here would be much appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

Would still LOVE some insight into this issue - thanks!

Hi gdcoop,

 

Check the Norton Network Security Map on both PCs to make sure that the network trust level and the trust level of the devices are set to "Shared.'  If the trust level is "Shared" or "Full Trust" then the firewall is not preventing the computers on your network from communicating with each other.

That worked perfectly - much appreciated!

You're welcome.  Glad you got it all working.
