Does the computer that you are trying to access have a terminal server hooked up to? It can be complicated if you don't know that much about terminal server.
This is a lot simpler method. You can use logmein software (go to do remote access and choose the free version and it is very secure. Your computer at home and the computer that you will need to access will need this software installed. The setup process is easy.

The request is being blocked by the router/firewall. You have to go into the destination's router/firewall and forward port 3389 to the ip address of the internal computer.
