If you are connecting to a PC using Remote Desktop protocol there are a number of issues that you may come up against.
If you cannot connect to the remote PC at all, there are a number of things that could cause this.
It could be that you don't have enough memory to make the connection. You should try closing any open programs that you are not using in order to free up RAM. If this doesn't work try rebooting your computer as this will close any processes that may be running in the background, and then try making the connection again.
Another problem could be that you don't have a network connection. Ensure that your router is switched on. If you are using a PC with a wired connection make sure that your ethernet cable is plugged into the port on the back of your computer, if you are using a wireless connection make sure your WiFi is turned on. You should also make sure that your network adapter is working.
The issue could be that the computer you are connecting to cannot be found. Make sure that you have typed the name of the computer correctly, or try typing the IP address of the computer instead.
Another problem could be that the remote computer is not accepting incoming connections. On the remote PC you will need to right click on Computer in the start menu, select properties and in the sidebar of the Properties windows you will need to select Remote settings. You can then see if the computer is accepting remote connections, and if it isn't you can tick the box so it does.
Once you have connected to the remote computer, another issue you may face is being unable to log in to the remote computer. The most common cause of this problem is not having the right username or password to log in to the computer, so you should double check this information. You may also need to be added to the administrators group for the remote computer.
These are just some very basic problems and solutions, if you have any others you would like to add, feel free to drop them in the comments box!
