Hello all,

I have just joined this group because the explanation of how to connect a Pi to a laptop seemed to explain the process better than any other I have seen.

However, after carrying out all the steps in the explanation I am unable to connect. I am using Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. I have down loaded the xrdp onto the Pi. I have tried all the IP addresses recommended, briefly disabled the McAfee firewall, but I get an error message that reads:

Connection failed. Flow socket connector failed to connect to target address.

Windows error 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Now disconnect every connection and do as follow:

1. Connect the raspberry to laptop through Ethernet cable

2. Power on the raspberry Pi by inserting USB cable to it and wait for some time for booting.

3. Now goto Network and Sharing Center and You will see the undefined connection and go to change adapter setting and then open properties of Ethernet and goto properties of IPv4 and change IP to Static 192.168.1.89 and subnet 255.255.255.0 and press ok.

Note: Now You have to connect you Raspberry Pi to your modem for INTERNET

4. Now download a client software Bitvise SSH Client [Link: https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client-download] and do setting as follows:

Login tab write HOST IP (Raspberry Pi address) and Port = 22 [see below Figure-1]
Goto Terminal tab of Bitvise SSH Client just enable X11 Forwarding [see below Figure-2]
You will asked for user and pwd : pi and raspberry respectively
Now press Login and you enter into raspberry pi terminal

Following this verbatim gets me to connection refused! Windows error 10061

I noticed you say to setup window network properties as 192.168.1.89, but bitvise server host as 192.168.1.138! Should they be the same?
