Re: Remote Connection errors

I'm not sure what you mean by "disabled WAN on both my home machine and work machine"?

If Remote Desktop works over the local LAN, ie. at home and/or at work, then it comes down to an
addressing issue or a port forwarding issue or both.

Note that its also possible your work network administrators have blocked TCP Port 3389 both inbound
and outbound. You need to talk to them about that. As far as home is concerned, can you go to a
friends house and try to connect to your home machine?
