Cannot remote connect until local desktop login

F

Frobinrobin

I've got a nice little set-up at home with Wake-On-Lan and remote
desktop... I can basically start my PC up and log in from the internet
:)

If I turn my computer on and leave it logged in, I can connect to it
from work.

If however, I just start my computer (i.e. without logging in) OR if I
reboot it (and I'm not able to login locally) I cannot connect
(produces timeout error)

Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Help me please!

Just a guess - could your firewall be blocking the remote access during the log on shutting down the port?
