TS connection problem

C

Chris

I have a set of workstations at a remote job site trying
to connect to terminal servers at our main office. The
remote job site uses a satellite internet connection and
Linksys router. There are two servers at the main site -
server1 is the ts licensing server and server2 is the
application server. Here's my problem:

Several workstations at the remote site can't connect to
server2; they get this error:

The client could not establish a connection to the remote
computer.
The most likely causes for this are:

1) Remote connections might not be enabled at the remote
computer
2) The maximum number of connections was exceeded at the
remote computer
3) A network error occurred while establishing the
connection

I've tried just about everything. I've used both the XP
and 2003 remote desktop clients, I've rebooted all
networking hardware, taken all other computers off the
remote network, swapped out cables, reloaded the OS.
Other machines are able to make the connection just fine,
and some of the problem workstations can make a
connection to server1, just not server2. At the same
time those workstations can make a connection to server2
when using another internet connection like a cable modem.

At this point I just can't make any sense out of this.
Doing away with the satellite internet is not an option,
but I don't think that's really the problem since other
clients are able to use it successfully. I really need
some help with this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Please show the exact path from your Remote Desktop
client to your Terminal Server, with every box that goes
in between the two devices (hubs, switches, router,
firewalls etc).
