Greetings,

I am trying to RDC from HOME PC to OFFICE PC.

OFFICE PC: XP Pro, RDC enabled, User has password, port 3389 open &
successfully telneted from HOME PC, Firewall exceptions include RDC

HOME PC: Vista HP, pings PUBLIC IP address of OFFICE PC successfully, but
attempts to connect to PUBLIC IP address generate error as follows:

This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again. If
the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your
network administrator.

ISP is clueless (but I noted that they, too, were attempting RDC to OFFICE
PC on Vista machines...for what it's worth).

Furthermore, attempts to connect from HOME PC via RDC to a Terminal Server
running Server 2008 on altogether different network, i.e. not on OFFICE PC's
network) are always successful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is user account a member of remote users? Control Panel, System,
Remote tab, Select Remote Users. Telnet will connect sockets but it's
not actually logging in.

Yes, user account is a member of remote users.
