Win. 7 PC on domain connecting to wireless but can't remote in?

Q. All of our laptops on our domain are configured for the same wireless signal. We use PoE switches (if that matters).

We're able to remote control all our laptops through a web based helpdesk software. I am unable to remote into one of ours when it is on wireless for some reason. There are no other laptops at this specific location, so I can't say that others would work either. All other locations have wireless laptops and all of them are the same model and so is this one but for some reason, I cannot remote into this one when it is in this specific location.

I checked everywhere in Win. 7 for a wireless firewall setting but only found Windoes firewall, which is already disabled to allow me to remote in.

Any thoughts on this? My money's on the network firewall in this location having a setting that needs adjusting somewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. Best answer lands the 10!

A. First off, a few questions regarding the network setup.

You say that you cannot remotely access the laptop when it is in this location. I take it that the location to which you are referring is a remote location. If it is, how is it connected back to the central office location? If there is a hardware VPN tunnel connecting the two offices, are you sure that all traffic is allowed over the VPN tunnel? (it should be by default, but some firewalls have odd rules with VPN connections) If the web-based software operates using a Remote Access Server as a middleman (like GoTOMyPC, or TeamViewer) be sure that there is nothing blocking the remote laptop from connecting to this server (like outgoing firewall rules, port filtering, or even content filtering if is is using port 80 to connect). A lot of web-based remote access connection methods use the Remote Access server method, like the ones I mentioned above. What this does is when the machine with the remote access software connects to the internet, it establishes a connection to the RAS (Remote Access Server). This RAS then waits for you to connect to it using the remote access software on your machine. Once you connect, it checks to see if the machine that you want to connect to is also connected to it. Once it establishes both machines are available, it completes the connection. At this point, one of 2 things can happen, either the RAS server can step out of the equation and the two client machines communicate directly with each other, or if that cannot happen for some reason, all traffic is routed through the RAS.

One way of testing would be to install Teamviewer on that laptop as a trial. This would allow you to determine if all access to that machine is blocked or if only the protocol that you are using to connect remotely is blocked. If you cannot get access using the traditional method that you have used in the past, you can continue to use TeamViewer if it works, but you would need to purchase a license at that point since it is free only for personal and non-company use as per its EULA.

I hope I have helped to point you in the right direction! Let me know if you have any other questions or need more assistance. :)

A. With TeamViewer you can remotely control any PC anywhere on the Internet as if you were sitting right in front of it. No installation is required, just run the application on both sides and connect - even through tight firewalls. TeamViewer is free for personal use.
