Remote desktop over the internet

[Guest]

Hi

Ive got a W2K terminal server. I can connect to it over the lan using IE, but when i try to connect to it from a dialup connection i get. 'The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote conections might not be enabled or the computer migt be too busy to accept new connections

I have a firewall and i have port 80 and 3389 open. The client is using XP

I can telnet to the server using the external IP and port 3389 so it is listening. Any ideas????

thank

Mat

When you have the dialup connection open, can you ping and
telnet to it from there?
