    On the Surface Pro, try checking in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps, and make sure "Remote Desktop Connection" is allowed to pass through.

    Make sure Remote Desktop Connection is enabled also.

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System\Remote Settings.

    See if any other security software is blocking you.

    Hi,

    1. Where do you get the error code 0x204?
    2. Do you get the error while setting up the Remote connection or while connecting to the remote computer?
    3. What application do you use to tack remote access of the computer?

    Method 1:

    The remote computer 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.

    Do not perform Method 2, if Method 1 resolves the issue. You can try Method 2 if Method 1 does not work.

    Method 2: Network failure. Make sure that:

    • Your router is turned on (home networks only)
    • The Ethernet cable is plugged into your network adapter (wired networks only)
    • Your computer’s wireless switch is turned on (laptops on wireless networks only)
    • Your network adapter is working.

    If you need any further assistance with Windows Operating System, please post your query on Microsoft Community Forums and we’ll be glad to assist you with it.
