I'm having a similar problem with my remote connection. I
have been able to connect to my work computer since the
beginning of the year. All of a sudden it has stopped
working. I receive a message that the connection might be
busy or that the remote connection may not be enabled. I
have checked the connections at the host computer ans they
are fine as far as I can see. Help!!!!

Is this over the public internet or over a private LAN? If it over the public internet are you
calling the correct public IP? Is the target PC behind a firewall/NAT/router? Have you forwarded TCP
Port 3389?
 
Also make sure that you haven't inadvertently installed or enabled a
firewall on your machine... We see this all the time when people
accidentally turn on the Internet Connection Firewall without enabling
the RD forwards...
