Ok, i am new to the whole server game but as a gift i was given a Dell Power Edge 1850, So im going to use it for learning. I have installed Win Server 2003 with IIS and Printer Sharing.

But im having a probelm using remote desktop.

I would like to connect to it from my office which is off site

My router/Firewall is a linksys that i have formated and put DD-S Linux on it to enhance speed.

Does any one have some spare time to help me out with this??

I am a Skype user and im in Pacific Standard Time

Thanks

Make sure that Terminal Server(remote desktop) is running and port 3390 is open for your router and/or firewall. Are you connecting to a static ip or dynamic ip? If you have static ip, just use your regular xp remote desktop software to connect or if you have dynamic ip, you can sign up at no-ip.com for a static domain to a dynamic ip(but your router have to support it).
