Remote desktop connection. An internal error has occurred.

Anonymous

Hello,

The error occurs on a Windows 7 Home computer.

I connect successfully through a Sonic Wall VPN client.

I can ping the IP address of the remote computer.

I run remote desktop (using IP address of the remote computer) and get error:

"Remote desktop connection. An internal error has occurred."

It used to work flawlessly and all of a sudden quit working.

Please advise.

Please close the case.

I fixed it.

It was a VPN configuration problem on the Sonic Wall.

I have had this problem in the past. I managed to resolve it by running "sfc /scannow" and flushing the dns "ipconfig /flushdns" Should do the trick.
