I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium that I can remote desktop to the 2003 server when on the same network using the private 192.168.x.x, but when I take the laptop home and try to remote in using our public ip address, I get the message "This computer can't connect to the remote computer". My XP laptop can remote in just fine from the internet so the firewall / router is working fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Wayne |

Assuming you have a router in the office, have you forward port 3389? -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "wdueck" <wdueck@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D49641A6-4980-497E-A0F1-723D89C7E954@microsoft.com... >I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium that I can remote desktop to the >2003 > server when on the same network using the private 192.168.x.x, but when I > take the laptop home and try to remote in using our public ip address, I > get > the message "This computer can't connect to the remote computer".
