RDP blocked on internal network?

Hey I saw your post when I was experiencing the same issue. The way I fixed it was to change my network setting to allow the computer I want to connect to to be discoverable since the network must have defaulted to a "public" network.

Thank you for the reply!
So, I did, in fact, already have the machines set to private network and discoverable (on private and public just for testing sake). However, when I created a 'homegroup', the machines could then RDP to each other. This is very strange to me since I had never had a homegroup setup previously and all the permissions/IP's/Names/subnet/etc were all the same when connected to the previous gen Netgear router and RDP worked without a problem. At this point, I'm just happy it's working now, but I'm not a huge fan of homegroups and still don't understand why it doesn't work like before.
