to do a full test you need to do the following
disable windows firewall on the vps
disable windows firewall on your own pc
disbale ANTIVIRUS (like norton ) on your pc/vps
if those 3 are done , test out the connection
does it connect -> configure your firewalls ( as ports are blocked)
does it not connect ??
on vps
check the ip's , and if the ip's you use are assigned to the vps
i do not mean the following ip's
127.0.0.1
192.168.x.x
10.x.x.x
if you use one of those ip's , then change it to your public ip
the public ip is the ip you use to connect to remote desktop (or go to myip.nl from your vps )
Code:
if you are running a vps localy ( or on your home network) then you can NOT use your external ip
remote ip and local network -> not working
but in this case we assume that the vps is from a hosting provider and not on your local network xD
ok lets continue
if the ip's are correct , then check your OEM.INI / OEM.DAT file and see if those do match else fix those ip's and test again
also make sure the SERVER name does match and does not contain a SPACE or special CHARACTER
should it still not work , then check your router ( if any ) and make sure the needed ports are open/forwarded to be able to connect ( see documentation of router ) , you can easy do that with opening the DMZ to your pc local ip
hopely this can debug your problem
if those things are not working , then there are not so many solutions left anymore xD
