XP Pro connecting to Windows 2003 Server

August 4, 2007

I have a VPN Connection (PPTP). I run my RDP connection through that. XP

Pro cannot connect to windows 2003 server. Windows Vista has no issues. XP

Pro can connect when on LAN with Server. Upgraded RDP clients on affected

computers without any luck. Nothing shows on the error logs of the server.

Error/Response is

"This computer can't connect to the remote computer."

Never Mind. As I typed this post, it became clear to me the issue was in the

VPN tunnel. Rather than troubleshoot that, I just opened the RDP port. All

is fine now.

Thanks anyway
