I've tried all the basics like making sure remote assistance and remote desktop are allowed in the System Properties. I can't connect to the 8.1 Pro machine from outside the network via a public IP nor from inside the network via an internal IP. Same error message all around:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled.
2) The remote computer is turned off.
3) The remote computer is not available on the network.
Obviously this is a bogus error message. Any resolutions? I upgraded to Pro specifically for remote desktop and it's not working. Have I wasted my money?
