I have xp pro on all machines and have tried this with and with out sp2 and
all updates, I am useing a Dlink router DI-524, I am staticly setting the ip
addresses, when I set machine 1 up to be remoted in, I can connect fine, but
if I try to remote out to another machine it doesn't connect. If I change
everything to where you can't remote in to machine 1, I can remote out to
machine 2 and the same goes for machine 2. Do you only have the choice of
either remoting in or remoting out or can you do both from the same machine?
Machine 1 is at the office { no server }, machine 2 is at home { no server },
I have check marks in remote assistance and remote desktop.
Thanks Tommy
 
Its not clear to me what you want but you might look at this page if you
need to access more than one XP Pro box with Remote Desktop that is behind a
firewall/router...

Alternatively a safer way to do this, IMHO, is to use a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) or Secure Shell (SSH) and access all PCs through one port on
the firewall/router.

I have pc 1 { at home } if I remote into it from pc 2 { at the office }
everything is fine, when I go home and want to remote in to pc 2 at the
office, from pc 1 it will not let me connect. If I change the settings on pc1
to where you cannot remote into it, I can remote in to pc 2
 
Well, that's a new one on me...

Have you looked in the event log on PC1 when it fails to see if any error
messages may provide a clue?

I presume this is not a VPN connection back to your office PC2, is that
correct?

No I havent but if you try to ping the ip address it times out, but you can
ping yahoo.com, then when you change it to where you can't remote in it works.
 
I have traced the problem down to the dlink router, have emailed dlink to see
about the problem. I replaced the dlink with a linksys and all works.

Thanks for your input and help
 
Weird...
