Ok I have two computers:
Computer D:
I am also able to access shared folders from one computer in another (both ways).
I am able to start a remote assistance session from computer L to computer D, which means I can "remotely assist" and thus see the desktop of L on my D's screen.
I am able to create a remote desktop connection from computer D to computer L, which means I can remotely control D from my L's screen. (It's the other way around compared to the previous statement.)
Now what I want to be able to do is, remotely control L from my D's screen. While I'm able to do it using "remote assistance" I want to be able to do it via remote desktop connection (The advantage is I don't need to be infront of L to accept a request. I'm also speculating it is faster, and I'll be able to use the full glory of my D's 23.5" screen).
I have tried everything I could think of:
Computer D:
Computer L:A desktop computer running Windows 7 Ultimate.
Connected to the Internet via a Motorola Cable Modem (no router), using LAN cable (no wireless).
Contains a 802.11b/g Wireless card.
An ad-hoc connection is created on the wireless card for sharing files and Internet with second computer (described below).
Both computers have remote assistance and remote desktop enabled, and are connected to a workgroup. Both have AVG Free installed.A laptop/tablet computer running Windows Vista Ultimate.
Connected to the Internet via computer D's ad-hoc wireless connection (no wireless router).
I am also able to access shared folders from one computer in another (both ways).
I am able to start a remote assistance session from computer L to computer D, which means I can "remotely assist" and thus see the desktop of L on my D's screen.
I am able to create a remote desktop connection from computer D to computer L, which means I can remotely control D from my L's screen. (It's the other way around compared to the previous statement.)

While I'm able to do it using "remote assistance" I want to be able to do it via remote desktop connection (The advantage is I don't need to be infront of L to accept a request. I'm also speculating it is faster, and I'll be able to use the full glory of my D's 23.5" screen).
I have tried everything I could think of:
- Change L's computer name.
- Change both computers' RDP ports.
- Restart computers.
- Use IP address instead of computer name.
- Check L's firewall settings (that's a pain in the ass)
- Disable L's firewall.
- Open ports in L's firewall.
