Can't remote login

[ESY08]

Hi... I'm a complete newbie to Raspberry Pi. I also haven't programmed for 25+ years!

I'm trying to remote login to my RP2 from my WIndows 8 laptop. I installed xrdp and was able to remote login to the GUI via a friend's linksys wireless router. But when I move the setup to my Airport Extreme, it doesn't work. Is there something different about the Airport Extreme wireless router? Does this IP address, 10.0.1.38, look right?

Thanks in advance!

-a- pls for a remote login first step is to find RPI's IP
- there is a free program "advanced IP scanner" what finds the IPs in your network ( even it messes up names... )
- you can look at you router what IP are logged in (with DHCP lease )
- you can use the windows cmd and
- - ipconfig ( show about your network and laptop IP )
- - ping 192.168.1.101
- - arp -a 192.168.1.101 ( get the MAC )

-b- second step would be to connect by PUTTY or bitvise SSH client
now you can CLI and update and fix IP your RPI and install xrdp

-c- but that xrdp install you did already at your friends place,
here the big question: did that test work there using YOUR windows 8 laptop?
( or is it the first time you try use remote desktop connection from that laptop ( win 8.1 bing... can not RDP? need win 8 PRO )

-d- in that case you could try using VNC
- - putty login RPI
vncserver :1 newpw newpw n
- - on laptop install http://www.realvnc.com/
open with 192.168.1.101:1 newpw

Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: A- "Advanced IP Scanner" found everything else on my network but not RP2. But I do have internet access from RP2 from the same wireless router. I guess this is the main problem.

Re: C- Yes, I used my RP2 and my laptop. The only difference that I can tell is using his wireless router.

Thanks

Ah. I borrowed a Linksys wireless router and attached it to my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router and IT WORKS. So it looks like the Airport Extreme blocks it or something.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I went into the Apple router and added a static IP for some SSH thing (yeah... I'm just fishing for things with the same buzzwords). Voila! It works! No idea why!

The Advance IP Scanner tool suggestion was really great!

Thanks!
