I am having a very similar problem. I was able to use RDC
for awhile and then recently I get to the login screen
and login. My desktop begins to load and then the host
computer displays "Closing Network Connections" and RDC
closes. Just like Jake it works from other internal LAN
computers fine, but not out of network even though it did
until recently. Thanks in advance for your help!

>>To answer your question, I was able to remote connect
to my desktop from several different computers within my
LAN. When trying to remote from outside the LAN using
comcast internet from three different locations (two
coworkers and myself, all connected to the internet via
comcast) the same thing happens: user name, password,
enter, screen freezes for thirty seconds or so and then
the RDC program closes. I checked the DNS and Wins
settings on the desktop and there is nothing out of the
ordinary...I am stumped.

about 30seconds and then closes. The event view error is
as follows: "Windows cannot obtain the domain controller

to an unreachable host.). Group Policy processing
aborted." Event ID: 1054.
