I'm having problem connecting to the Terminal Server under certain circumstances. Here's the 2 scenarios I have.

1. Working from home, Windows XP SP2 connected via a standard ADSL modem/router using DCHP. Works Fine

2. At work, Windows XP SP2 connected thru the company firewall/router. Fails to connect. I then upgraded the TS client to version 6 with the same results. Error message is "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. try connecting again ........". The PC uses a static internal IP address.

I've tried other PC's in the office (which are XP boxes) with no luck.

The following is a Trace to the server (i've omitted the attempts after the first failure for clarity)
