I need to set up people to work remotely from home. I am able to establish a VPN from home to the office network, but then I can't connect to my individual workstation using Remote Desktop Connection. I get this message:
"The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection.
Please try again later, if the problem continues to occur, contact your administrator."
That happens no matter which workstation I try to reach from home. We CAN take control of each other's computers using Remote Desktop within the LAN/Office . . . it just won't work through a VPN. I have static IP addresses assigned to the workstations, and am 100% positive I'm using the correct IP address.
The computer at home is XP-Home, the workstations we're trying to access in the Office are XP-Pro SP2, and the server is Windows 2003 Server. The router is a couple years old, Linksys #NR041.
Before we got the W2003 Server, we had an NT server & were able to establish a VPN & use Remote Desktop without any problems. I don't know if the maybe it's a setting on the 2003 Server stopping this from working, or maybe a setting on XP-Pro SP2. Any suggestions?
