Are there domain restrictions to RDP?

[njem]

I use RDP from lots of place to lots of systems. In one place it won't
let me thru and it seems to insist on pre-filling a domain box in the
logon which I can't change. This happens when I am at one office where
they have a domain. I plug in my laptop and get access to the local
network. My laptop is not part of the domain and I am not logging in
locally to the domain. I fire up RDP and try to connect to the server
at another site, which always works from home and other sites. But
when I'm at this one office it won't let me connect and it appears to
be because where I enter my logon and password (for the remote system)
it also has the domain box. That box is pre-filled with the domain of
the local office and is a non-editable box. Is this expected behavior?
Something I'm missing in how to work around?

Thanks,
Tom

For security reason, some companies may block you to use RDP. Can you telnet
port 3389?

These are companies I regularly connect to from my office, from on the
road, etc. I just can't get from the one to the other and it seems to
be that domain issue.
