More info?)
Well let me explain that I'm not familiar with dial-up connecting into a
RDC. I use a cable connection and XP Pro. That said, we'll check a few
things.
Is the target computer always connected to the internet and you're trying to
dial from your remote to your ISP and then connect to the target computer or
are both computers dialup?
Sure you're using the right (Public) IP address?
Are you getting a specific error message?
Are you trying to connect as an Administrator or Limited Account?
Is IIS services installed and enabled?
Is your firewall enabled for ports 3389 and 80?
If using a router, are the ports forwarded correctly?
Have you tried a port scan from somewhere like www.grc.com to check your
ports?
Is file sharing enabled?
Let us know.
