My home computer is the host. My work computer is the client. I am trying to RD my home computer from a computer at work.

Host computer:
Win XP Pro SP2 with all the latest updates, patches, hotfixes, coldfixes and lukewarm fixes installed.
A NetGear wireless router
A fairly clean XP Pro install. Just the updates and MS Office 2003 and a couple of video codecs are installed.
Internet connection is through cable broadband and has always connected to the internet without problems.
I created a user account with a password just for the purpose of connecting to this PC remotely.

Client computer:
Win XP Pro SP2 with all the latest updates, patches, hotfixes, coldfixes and lukewarm fixes.
Internet connection is through proxy. I don't know much about the proxy or how things are routed to/from my work PC. Work computer connects to the Internet fine.
Internet connection is T1 (I think).

All I want to do is connect to my home PC from time to time to manage

i think the problem lies here

on your client pc , since u are in a network and it must be firewalled or on
a proxy , u will not be able to connect remotely


i hope this helps
try using the main computer like the server from where the internet service
originates ...
