I went through all the steps, and was able to connect remotely while
connected to the same network.

When I try it at home, The screen pops up, with the IP address on top, and
sometimes I get a part of the windows logon box, but it never fully renders.
Eventually I get the message "The connection to the remote computer was
broken. THis may have been caused by a network error. Please try connecting
to the remote computer again."

Trying again, dones not help. People at the remote computer say it statrs to
do something, but goes to the user login screen, and my connection dies.

Thoughts?

Slow connections, ie. dialup, can be an issue sometimes. Have you "tuned" RD for your connection?

You also might consider disabling the rendering of the remote PC desktop wallpaper... See this page,
near the end, for help doing that...

Both computers are on high speed connections. The wallpaper on the remote
computer is just black. Can the Norton AV have anything to do with it? I've
read some things about improper session disconnects wrecking some norton
files, which then disallow connections. The only other thing I can think of
is maybe I am not putting in the pathway properly, or in the right spot.
While on the local LAN, I just put in the computers IP, user name, and
password. When I am at home, do I need to put in the full path to that
computer? eg. User Name: OFFICE/ROOM2/MYNAME (OFFICE is the local networks
name, ROOM2 is the computer name, and MYNAME is the user name)

Or would that go into the DOMAIN space? Help! I am so close...

From home to office you need the public IP of any firewall/NAT/router at the office end or a fully
qualified domain name. Log on to RD using a valid user name and password, just like over the local
LAN.
