Trying to connect from work XP Pro PC on a SBS 4.5 network to home XP Pro
PC.
Get this error message:

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.

Any help appreciated.

Missing some data here,
Are you on a router at home? Port forwarding needs set
Are you using firewall? port 3389 must be open
Is RD enabled on Home PC? Enable RightClick My Computer >
properties > Remote Desktop "Allow" and set any user that
is not an Admin already on system.
 
Home is DSL, no router, with Zonealarms free but have my work IP Address as
"Trusted" (also tried to connect with Zonealarms off, same result)
RD is enabled on Home PC and I have my account allowed.

Thanks
 
Need to go into Local Policies on the PC that you are
trying to access, User Rights Assignments - allow log on
locally, make sure that deny is not specified.
 
Are others able to connect out? It sounds like 3389 is being
blocked...
