Hi all,

Yesterday I've set up my desktop (XP Pro SP1) to accept
RDC Connections. In my ADSL Router I've setup the correct
port to be forwarded to my desktop.

When I try to connect trough the network at the office
using my laptop I get the following message:

"The client could not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer
might be to busy to accept new connections. It is als
possible that network problems are preventing your
connection. Please try again later.... etc."

When a collegue of mine (using the exact same hardware and
software) tries to connect it all works fine.

I dont use any firewall on my laptop and I can use the RDC
to servers within the network I work in.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Can you even ping your laptop?
Are you behind a proxy?
