RD works on LAN not across Internet

Running XP Pro SP2 on both host (desktop) & client (laptop). Windows Firewall
running on host, Remote Desktop enabled through System Properties and users
assigned (I've also verfied that the Firewall allows exceptions and Remote
Desktop is checked, and the 'Advanced' tab shows Remote Desktop enabled and
pointing to itself by computer name).
Remote Desktop works flawlessly when connecting within the LAN.
At one time RD worked just fine across the Internet using port forwarding
through my router. Now it refuses to connect across the Internet.
I've tried numerous things, up to and including switching from cable to DSL,
rebuilding the router settings after doing a factory reset - - and even
by-passing the router and connecting the host directly to the DSL modem.
I can ping the host PC without problem, so I know I've got the correct IP
address.
I've seen suggestions for rolling the terminal services .dll on the host
back to the SP1 version. Before doing that, is there something I've missed?
For example, an MS Hotfix?
