Re: Can only connect to my Windows 10 machine remotely if Remote Desktop Connection is established

  Sorry, that does sound frustrating.

 

Historically when installed via RDP, and not a desktop screen sharing app such as GoToMyPC, then the Hamachi software gets stuck on the virtual desktop, and will only run when that same virtual desktop sharing session is in progress.  Hopefully this makes sense!  You'll definitely resolve the conflict if you can install when physically in front of the client.

 - thanks for the quick reply.  I uninstalled Hamachi and reinstalled while physically in front of the Home NAS machine, then started Hamachi and "powered on" to connect.  I then went to work and was still only able to connect with RDC also connected, and had the same disconnect when closing RDC.  Is there something I am missing or anything else I can check?  

Thanks

Edit: I plan to bring my work laptop home this weekend so I will have bothe machines in front of me to expedite troubleshooting/configuration.  

Just some thoughts I have had sinec posting - Might I need to open and port forward a specific port or ports?  I have not configured anything in Windows Firewall or with my router, all the Hamachi Install instructions that I saw never mentioned having to do any of this.
