Ok - i got it going. once i realized port was inaccessible, i turned to the
router. had to reconfigure port and reboot.

Do you mean you don't want anyone to be able to remotely access/control your
desktop using Remote Desktop? You can disable it via a group policy.

Hi,

Could you please desribe to me what you did to fix the problem after you
discovered that the connection wasn't active? I'm having trouble connecting
to work using VPN and Remote Desktop. It was working fine up until a few
weeks ago. When I run that "Telnet" command I'm getting the same message as
you were "Could not open connection to host on 3389...". What did you mean
by "reconfigure the port"?
