Am trying to set up a connection to my office computer and all i get
is error messages saying connection was terminated due to network
problem
I have xp pro on both machines with Comcast cable at home and DSL at
work.
Using command prompt, I can not ping the work computer at all and I
have tried it on 4 different machines any advice?
 
Is the work PC behind a firewall/NAT/router? If so, you need to have TCP Port 3389 forwarded/opened
to the private LAN IP of the work PC. Call using the public IP of the firewall/NAT/router.
