Remote Destop Disconected

[Guest]

I am receiving this error.

Remote Desktop Disconnected
---------------------------
The client could not connect to the remote computer.

Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to
accept new connections.
It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection.

Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur,
contact your administrator.


I followed all the steps at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/remoteintro.mspx
Both the host and the remote computer run on XP pro. I am currently using
pcAnywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Error:

I could not see your service on IP on port (3389)
Reason: Connection timed out

That indicates something is blocking TCP Port 3389. Check port forwarding
through any firewall or router between the PC and the public internet. Its
possible, but not likely, that your ISP is also blocking that port.
