I am running windows 2003 server enterprise edition on my destop and windows
XP on my laptop.The device being used to connect my laptop and my desktop
together is a wireless d-link 624 router with ports. My laptop is part of the
domain located on my desktop. What I am trying to do is offer remote
assistance to my laptop from the help and Support Center wizard located on my
desktop. I have already opened the port 3389 on my router and I configured my
laptop to enable remote assistance using the command gpedit.msc. With all
these configurations being made I receive an error message of "THE REMOTE
SERVER MACHINE DOES NOT EXIST OR IS UNAVAILABLE" after pasting the ip address
of the laptop in the connect box of the offer remote assistance wizard.

Suggestions would be great
Thank you

Thanks for your help, but it still cannot connect remotely. I checked the
websites listed on the previous postings. I suspect that this error could be
the result of me not giving proper access rights to my laptop for my
desktop.

I could ping from my laptop to my desktop and vice versa.

If anyone can help
Please give suggestions

The last posting suggested that I telnet to the port 3389. This is the list
of steps I used to do that
1) Run cmd(enter)
2)typed telnet (enter)
3)typed o 3389 (enter)
Received error message of "could not open connection to the host, on port
23: connection failed"

If I telneted properly the answers would be no I cannot establish a connection

Thank you
Any suggestions please
