Thanks for your replay Shenan

I am responsible for the network at work. (I'm not a expert) 5 clients & 1
SBS 2003
server. all using xP Pro. I am trying to get the boss new pc @ home (XP Pro)
connected to his PC @ work. using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/remote I can connect
to outlook and read/send e-mail. I also see all the clients pc's and the
server, BUT can not connect to any of them. I will try disable the firewall
tomorrow and see what happens. (RDC) would not connect give error message.

Shenan do I need to install any thing before I setup/use RDC?
