I have a laptop computer setup on our main TV in our living room. The kids use this laptop to access their math curriculum for homeschool each day. I normally have been connecting to the laptop to grade their work and record their process by using Microsoft Terminal Services (a.k.a. Remote Desktop Connections) to access the computer from my own laptop while I’m sitting on the couch.
I’ve also got LogMeIn installed which works great for connecting to the machine if I’m not within my own network at home.
The problem is that here for the last few weeks I haven’t been able to connect using MSTSC because I keep getting an error message about another connection already being live.
I’ve read a few different webpages on how to force close these connections here and here, but neither one of them have actually resolved the issue. I still can’t connect remotely. I thought maybe it’s because LogMeIn was also active on the machine and trying to connect, so I terminated that service and still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can force all connections to close and reset? A full restart and reboot also doesn’t fix it. Eager to hear a solution from somone.
