It is not possible to connect from older version to newer. Try to install a newer version than a remote computer. For example, Team Viewer v.13.
Might this help.

I have tried that. I have gone all the way back to Teamviewer 10 but no dice.

Hello. Is the internet connection of remote computer trouble-free? See his IP in the net? Recall the "ping" command? Slow or unstable internet connection might be a reason too. Was a connection ever possible in the first place?

Yes, we had been connecting just fine. A few months ago my system updated to the latest TeamViewer and when I went to reconnect it told me his was an older version and it would no longer connect. I uninstalled Teamviewer and started installing previous versions but none of those will connect either. I went all the way back to version 10, no/go on any of them.

The internet is good we have 200meg pipes on either side.

Any ideas?

I installed TeamViewer on a personal device running Ubuntu 10.04.4 Linux and getting the same message.

If I can't connect to it how in the world can I upgrade it?
