moved to remote location. Although can connect from other pc's on new lan.
Any one know what I am missing here pls.

You would need to forward/open TCP Port 3389 on any firewall or router the
PC is behind on the new LAN. Call using the public IP of the
firewall/router, ie. the IP assigned by the ISP.
