RDC Connection

[m4r]

I have a system setup with a SBS box running DHCP and a domain controller, a
server box running TS and apps, it is tied together with a Netgear FVS318v3
router. I am trying to setup an RDC from home into my work PC on local
192.168.0.49 I have setup a firewall rule to forward port 3389 to the local
address and it all connects when tested on the local LAN but when I try and
connect from home I get an error that it cannot connect to remote system.
The machines at work are XP Pro and the machine at home is Vista business.
Any ideas would be apprciated.

Hi
It is probably Not a Windows problem on the work station computer.
It has to be related to the traffic coming through the Router and its
relation to the server and the way the Gateway and DNS is configured.
May be as first step you should try it on its own without the intervention
of SBS.
