I have a user who's trying to access our Terminal Services Server
(Windows Server 2000) from home. Their computer is XP Home. When
they try to connect they get an error telling them remote desktop
cannot find the remote computer. I had them ping the computer name
and they received replies. I had them check the exceptions on their
firewall and Remote Desktop was checked.

Suggestions?

Do you have on server or router maybe list of allowed or forbidden
IPs?
If RDP is open on server and other clients can access, only one cannot
don't see a reason why it cannot.
Have you tried to access via IP? Maybe client cannot resolve DNS
name.

Yeah, I had them try the IP address instead of name. Same result.
They're able to ping the IP. I'm drawing a blank. They're using a
wireless router, but they're able to connect from another computer on
their home network. I think they might have a secondary firewall on
their home computer. I'll have to go out there. Thanks.
