How do I know if my firewall is blocking Remote Desktop?
It is important to ensure that your firewall is not blocking Remote Desktop connections. To determine if your firewall is blocking Remote Desktop connections, you can take the following steps:
1. Check the settings of your firewall to ensure that Remote Desktop connections are allowed. Most firewalls have an option to allow or deny Remote Desktop connections.
2. If the firewall settings do not show any blocking of Remote Desktop connections, you can use a network scanning tool to check the ports that are open on your system. This should reveal if any of the ports used by Remote Desktop are being blocked.
3. You can also try to establish a Remote Desktop connection from a different computer to see if the connection is being blocked. This can help you determine if the connection is being blocked by your firewall.
4. If you are still unable to establish a Remote Desktop connection, you may need to contact your IT department or firewall vendor to get further assistance.

How do I know if port 3389 is blocked?
To determine if port 3389 is blocked, you can use a port scanner such as nmap to perform a port scan of your network. Nmap is a free and open source port scanner that can be used to scan your network. With a port scan, you can determine which ports are open, closed, or filtered on your network. To use nmap to scan your network for port 3389, you can use the following command:
nmap -p 3389
After the scan is complete, you will see a list of ports and a status for each port. If port 3389 is closed or filtered, then it will be listed in the results. Alternatively, you can also contact your network administrator to confirm if port 3389 is blocked.
