| | Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium that I can remote desktop to the 2003 server when on the same network using the private 192.168.x.x, but when I take the laptop home and try to remote in using our public ip address, I get the message "This computer can't connect to the remote computer". My XP laptop can remote in just fine from the internet so the firewall / router is working fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Wayne |

| | Re: Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet Just to interject here -- no I don't think you'll find telnet included in Vista. You could download PuTTY, an Open Source Telnet / SSH client. "wdueck" wrote: Quote: > I tried to telnet but got the message that telnet was an unknown command or > something like that.

| | Re: Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet I didn't know that. I never wondered about it, either. When I didn't get a response from a telnet command I didn't bother looking any further, figuring that it was good riddance. But it is very nice to know this, especially for situations where installation of an Open Source (or other third party) telnet substitute isn't going to be accepted. "Robert L.

| | Re: Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet The Internet-facing IP address is static. Our XP machines can rdp just fine.
