Problem: Cannot connect to the server at my office using Remote Desktop and
my Comcast cable internet connection. I am able to connect to the server at
my office if I use Remote Desktop and my AOL dial-up connection.
Note: I am able to connect to other computers/servers using Remote Desktop
and my Comcast cable internet connection.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is TCP Port 3389 forwarded through your office firewall to the PC you want
to access? Is the office PC running the XP SP2 Windows Firewall and if so is
Remote Desktop checked ON in the Exceptions List?
