connecting to windows server 2003

Hi

how can I connect to a Windows 2003 server from outside the office network.
I have tried the Remote Desktop Connection from my XP machine at home but it
wont let me connect. As far as I know terminal services is running on the
windows 2003 server.

many thanks.

Ali.

Hi,

Are there any firewalls between your home network and your office network?
If yes; are these firewalls configured to allow TCP 3389 (RDP TCP port)
connection to the server? Did you use correct address (server name) or IP
address to try to connect to?
