Try a
telnet your.machine.ip.address 3389
This will help to detect if the problem is with the connection or with Terminal Services itself.

Hi Daniel, sorry about the long delay - the notification email must've got lost in the woodwork somewhere 
The problem is definitely not with the TS server, seeing I can connect on my local network. I haven't had a chance to test yet, but I've changed it to another port, because maybe it is as Matt suggested that the ISP blocks that port.
Thanks 
Paul

Does your computer have a firewall, and double check that remote desktop is enabled (I've made this mistake before

The software firewall is configured correctly, because I can log in via the LAN. It's only when I try and log in via internet that it doesn't work. (The hardware firewall is turned off at the moment.)
Thanks for the response

Its an outside chance, but maybe your ISP is blocking the port. Other than that I don't know

Could be, but I don't think so. I've managed to use lots of other things... (like vnc, webserver, ftp etc), and AFAIK my ISP doesn't block anything.

What, exactly, is the error? Alternatively, you could just email me your IP address and all your passwords and I'll check it myself.

I know this has been mentioned but I would check with your ISP to make sure they aren't blocking that port. Some ISP's were doing it because of the RPC worm. My ISP blocks the Exchange port now because of this
I know you said you have a router so do you have more then 1 PC? If so does it work inside the firewall? 3389 Is the only post you need to route to get it to work. Mine is set up this way.

I'll see if I can find out from the ISP, maybe it is the case
Yes, I have multiple PC's, and it does work perfectly inside the firewall. Thanks for the response

I got my new server HD today I plan to run the OS off of it because it is faster. I used Seagate Seatools to copy everything to the new drive but it didn't do anything with the boot record so it won't boot off the new drive. Without reinstalling Windows 2003 Server can I reinstall the 2k3 boot record?
[EDIT]Its a WD400 I bought second hand so there is no install CD[/EDIT]

I just changed my storage plans until I need to reinstall 2k3 server (hopefully a long long way away)

You have to tell the bios to use the external card first in the boot order. This setting is probably SCSI adapter or something like that.

Hi all,
I am trying to schedule a task using the AT command in an NT 4.0 workstation.
What I need to do is schedule the task under a specific log on account other than system or administrator account.
Any ideas/suggestions will be graetly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

This[^] may be helpful. I haven't tried it, but perhaps a combination od RUNAS and AT will do the trick. If not, try stuffing the AT command in a .bat file and using RUNAS to execute it.

can't be done. you can have the task interact with the desktop of the logged on user, but no 'run as' in 4. can you use the newer "task scheduler" that is installed with IE 6? then you'll have the opportunity to use an account of your choice.

My dad's primary hard drive, a Maxtor 40GB drive, has developed numerous bad sectors (possibly a bad cylinder?). So, we went off to the local Fry's, and bought an 80GB Western Digital (annoyingly loud, BTW).
Brought it home, put it in as primary slave. Booted it up, and the PnP BIOS's automatic hard disk detection (which runs on each boot) froze up when it got to the "slot" that that drive was on.
Removed all the other drives except for the old main drive, which stayed the primary master. Tried every jumper and cable configuration that was feasible (SM/Master, SM/Cable-Select, PS/Slave, PS/Cable-Select) - still froze up w/ the auto-detection. Tried w/ it as PM w/ no other drives on the system (not even the old PM), w/ both Master and CS jumper settings - still no luck. :bang-head:
It's not like just the auto-detection didn't work - it didn't show up at all, not from the command line or anything.
FYI, this is a fairly old system (Pentium II, PC100 RAM, Mfg around the time Win98 1st Ed. came out), and doesn't support large drives (over 8.4 GB), but twice (including once w/ this same system) I've successfully used overlay software to circumvent this. But it likely isn't due to a mobo failure, as the other drives are detected just fine.
Any ideas? Anything to try?
I've already returned defective parts to Fry's 4x in the last month or so, so I'm a little bit  to do it again - makes me look like a klutz - even though I've built lots of systems before.
