Got a weird issue and I'm stuck for idea's, basically I have a windows vista home premium pc that connects to an office location via a standard pptp windows connection.
The problem is that I can't seem to RDP to a computer, I can't view it via \\ipaddress either but I'm more concerned about the RDP unless that links in which it probably does.
The problem occured after restoring the computer back (by the client) using system restore for whatever reason, since then the connection has never worked, the vpn connects but the RDP just sits there and eventually times out.
The computer 100% has RDP enabled as you can telnet across the VPN to ip:3389, I've also connected my personal laptop running windows 7 to the same vpn and managed to RDP no problem to the same pc.
The computer has AVG (no firewall as far as i can tell) so nothing there I can see blocking, no other unusually obvious applications which would block or interrupt the communication, I've even cleared out the routing table and the thing just refuses to connect!
The only thing I can think of is that the PC doesn't pick up a vpn gateway whereas my pc did (might be a vista thing), would that cause routing issues?
