I work for a support company and I've stumped our IS Dept with this one. Just looking for any idea! I use RDP to connect to a lot of clients (site to site vpn) and as of about 3 weeks ago, one client just quit working for me. Everyone in my surrounding cubes around me can RDP into this client and I can RDP in to anyone else, including my home computer, at any time! If I try this one client though, I get an error that Remote Connections are not working. Makes no sense! I've tried rebooting several times on different days. Can anyone think of any logical reason how this would even be possible?
Thank you,
Jeff

you have blocked that IP from being used. either thru a fire wall, router setting, vpn setting or some security software that is installed on that computer.

I've looked at everything possible and don't see a thing.. shut down all security services, etc. One thing I noticed a difference in is that if i do a cmd-> print route, i have a lot of these ips in my active routes, whereas my neighbors do not. I've tried flushing my dns and i've tried deleting these routes, but can't figure out how to get rid of the ips (apparently my delete syntax is wrong because i keep getting: The route specified was not found). Any idea how to get rid of all active routes in print route? Thanks!

By the way.. i can get rid of all persistent routes, but all active routes remain when i try: route -f
Any idea why the active routes would remain and/or how to clear them?

Got it fixed!! Whew!!
Turns out, when I loaded some new Virtual Machine software on my computer a few weeks ago (which is the greatest stuff ever!), it picked a range of IPs to assign and it happened to grab the range that we use for all of our site to site clients. I gave it a new range, rebooted and voila!!
Thanks!
