I'll be interested to see any responses to this. I connect to our WIndows
Server 2003 from home, using XP home. Most of the time all is OK, but at
times I get the same message you appear to get "Remote Desktop
disconnected... Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might
be too busy...". I worked on Monday night and then was unable to access the
server again until Friday night. Nothing changed, except the pile of work
that needed to be done got bigger. The last time this happened, a couple of
months ago, I had 2 others try from home, different OS, different areas of
town - none could access.
