However, if the firewall is running, I cannot RDS into this computer. If you open the firewall, you can put RDS in.

what to do?

Benjamin Pollack

Firewall rules in Windows are unclear. You'll see "Public" rules above the highlighted rules? These rules also apply when Windows thinks it's on a public network. To test, try enabling these rules. If you can now RDP to the computer, that's the problem.

Depending on what you want to accomplish, you have two options:

  1. Leave public rules enabled. If you routinely need to RDP to computers on different networks, and your computer doesn't have a weakly protected account, this might be a perfectly reasonable option.
  2. Tell Windows that the network it's on is actually a private network. The exact nature depends on the version of Windows, but unfortunately I don't have a Windows 8.1 box to check, but you should be able to toggle this setting by going to whatever is currently called the "Network Connections" control panel, to the relevant connection's Properties pane and change the network type to Private.
