Terminal Service won't connect to outside IP

[Guest]

We have a Windows SBS2000 network with Windows XP clients.

Several workstations can start Terminal Services and connect to a computer
on outside IP addresses but one workstation won't.

The workstation in question happily connects to workstations with internal
IP addresses (192.168.0.xx).

I worked through several Google results and see that Symantec antivirus
could be an issue - we don't use Symantec (we use McAfee on all
workstations). Just in case it is an issue.

On the problem workstation, when trying to get a TS session with an outside
IP address we get a message that the remote computer is not available - other
workstations connect almost immediately!

All workstations are using TCP/IP settings as automatic (no static IPs)

What am I missing?

I would look at firewall logs and/or logs on the SBS server box to start
with. Beyond that I suggest posting this to the...

microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

....or...

microsoft.public.isa

....news groups. The latter if your running ISA...
