Windows RD Keeps...not working???

Snotrap · January 5, 2020

Hello all,

Been having a bit of an issue lately regarding remote desktop for Windows 10 Pro 1903.

It seems after a while that my web server will not accept any remote connection, as if it's lost network access. Cant ping it, can't access webpages hosted on it etc.

Now when scanning the network for alive devices it does come up and same in my router admin panel.

Only variable that has changed is my router. However funny story with that. We had ADSL installed so our ISP came out and replaced the coaxial converter box with the "NBN" box and also replaced our router with the exact same model router...That was frustrating, re doing all of my ports etc but eh. That is the only thing that's changed in the past couple of weeks and it doesn't make any sense as to why or how it would contribute to this issue as it is the exact same device. And no I haven't tried the old router yet.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Why don't you have your own router? Usually ISP routers are routers they get from the Yuan Store in China. I am even surprised that it has options to be honest. Maybe they splurged on the 5 Yuan model...

To me, this sounds like a networking issue, not a Windows one.

Are both devices wired in? It sounds like something network related if PING reply to the server is timing out.

Never really bothered considering they've worked ok and I don't really have the drip to afford a good one.

Everything wireless for now, getting powerlines into the room though, property manager didn't want ethernet for some reason.

Ethernet over power lines can be troublesome as well. A kitchen appliance can play with its connectivity, all depending on how things are hook up in your building, your neighbors might also affect this. It is really a hit or miss equipment which could be a hit at first, and months later, start being a miss due to variables out of your control.
