Hi Sofia,

How To Set Up A Remote Desktop For Mac Sierra 2017

I understand that you are trying to use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client, but it is unable to find your remote sources. I'm happy to provide some troubleshooting to help with this.
I've found this support document on the Microsoft website that I believe will help:
Remote Desktop Client on Mac: FAQ

Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?

Here are some possible solutions to common problems you might encounter when trying to connect to a remote PC. If these solutions don’t work, you can find more help on the Microsoft Community website.

• The remote PC can’t be found. If you see this error, talk to the system admin of the remote PC to make sure you have the right PC name, and then check to see if you entered the name correctly. If you still can't connect, try entering the IP address of the remote PC instead of the PC name.

• There’s a problem with the network. Make sure that:

  • Enable access for assistive devices macos high sierra. Your router is turned on (home networks only).

  • The Ethernet cable is plugged into your network adapter (wired networks only).

  • Your PC’s wireless switch is turned on (laptops on wireless networks only).

  • Your network adapter is working.

    However, I recently bought a new one (the exact same one) - just to have 2 backups just in case - and my Macbook doesn’t recognize it. I know I am supposed to format it for Mac via disk utility before I can use it, but this process also fails. I followed the exact steps indicated on the drive’s manual. Can someone help me out with this? I’ve tried erasing the drive and then reformatting it, I’ve tried different settings when reformatting - none of it seems to work.

  If the problem keeps happening, talk to the person who set up your network.

• The Remote Desktop port might be blocked by a firewall. If you're using Windows Firewall, follow these steps:

  1. Open Windows Firewall by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering firewall in the search box, tapping or clicking Settings, and then tapping or clicking Windows Firewall.

  2. Tap or click Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall.

  3. Tap or click Change settings. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.

  4. Under Allowed apps and features, select Remote Desktop, and then tap or click OK.

  If you're using a different firewall, make sure the port for Remote Desktop (usually 3389) is open.

• Remote connections might not be set up on the remote PC. To fix this, see the 'How do I set up a PC for Remote Desktop Connection?' question in this topic.

• The remote PC might only allow PCs to connect that have Network Level Authentication set up.

• The remote PC might be turned off. You can’t connect to a PC that's turned off, asleep, or hibernating, so make sure the settings for sleep and hibernation on the remote PC are set to Never (hibernation isn't available on all PCs.).

I cannot find or connect to my computer

Verify that your computer is on. You can either enter your computers IP address or host name.

Important
Using the host name requires your network to resolve the host name properly through DNS. In many home network configurations only the IP address will work properly.

Verify that you are connecting to a supported Windows version.
