Re: Remote desktop connection- I need help pls. Ravi Bala 7/12/2007 1:10:03 AM Thanks for your reply. I had further checked the port querry tools, and identified that my public IP is not listening to port 3389. Iam further checking with our network personnel to recheck the office firewall settings. Our office network is with 20 clients and a server and we connect to the internet through an external firewall. I had instructed to switch off, which they have confirmed they did. But today Iam calling the network personnel to show me the setting and check if ther is any way of enabling port 3389. If I still have difficulties I shall reply you.

Re: Remote desktop connection- I need help pls. "BruceM" <bruce9950[ at ][ at ]hotmail.com> 7/12/2007 7:18:34 AM ADSL to ADSL is a pain in the butt. If it's only for a short time, see if you can use dialup one end. I believe the problem has been fixed in Vista. There is a work-around but it needs an "expert" on each end. (google?)
