Remote desktop from XP SP2 to Windows 2003 Server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

1. Are you able to ping the server?
2. You can check whether you are able to communicate to the remote desktop
port by using the command:
telent servername 3389.

Try to do by IP address if the above ones fail by name. Let me know what
happened.

Yes I am able to ping the server. When I telnet the server by IP address
however I get Could not open connection on Port 3389.

I think I have solved the problem though, I have ISA Server Firewall Client
installed, when I disable this, I can Telnet on 3389 and connect via remote
desktop.

On my other Windows 2000 servers though, I can connect no problem via a dial
in and Terminal Services connection with the Firewall Client enabled, as I
could with my 2003 server using remote desktop before XP SP2 was installed.

Thanks,

Chris

The ISA client shouldn't be affecting this if you can get through via
SmartNAT (which is what ISA referrs to when you do not user the
firewall client)...

You might want to pop this query on a ISA specific newsgroup to see if
there is any known interactions between SP2 and ISA...
