How about posting an ipconfig /all for the server?

SBS Standard or Premium? (ISA 2000 or 2004)?

Merv(yn),

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. I deleted the key and rebooted.
The key was recreated, but the problem was not solved. I still got a
network
error when I tried connecting with Remote Desktop from within the LAN and
from home. When I telnet and specify port 3389 there is a delay of about
20
seconds, then the command window clears and I eventually have to escape
out
of it to the telnet prompt and quit.

I would greatly appreciate any further suggestions.

Thanks.

On the SBS server...

1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe), locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters

2. Click Parameters, click File menu>Export, backup the Parameters key.

3. Delete the "Certificate" REG_BINARY value under the Parameters key.

4. Reboot, the value will be recreated again.

Try the remote desktop connection to see if it works.

Cris, Russ and Wench :) let me try to provide a fuller description of
what
happens and what I have tried. Thanks for taking an interest.

I have not checked the event log and can't do so until tomorrow.

When I try to connect, it takes about 30 seconds to fail with the
message:
"The connection was ended because of a network error.
Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

This occurs from home and also from within the LAN where the server is
located and where I have tried the external IP as well as the internal
address as well as the name.

I tried telnet and it hangs perhaps indefinitely, but certainly for
more
than a minute.
That is with a "Telnet> o xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 3389"
or a "Telnet > o xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
However, with "Telnet> o xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3389", I promptly get a
message
to
the effect that it can't connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 23.

Because I have tried from outside the office as well as from inside the
office, I have discounted the firewall or the ISP as being the cause of
the
problem.

I can't tell whether port 3389 is open, unless the telnet test is
definitive. Is there some way to get SBS to show me the status of any
port
or range of ports?

Yes, I do mean RDC, not the other acronym. What are RWW and CEICW?

I had installed McAfee some weeks ago, but have since uninstalled it.

I have switched off the Windows firewall.

I am not using the server console as a desktop, but we have had to on a
few
occasions. When I install the new .NET version of the application we
should
be able to to avoid having to do so again.

Thank you all so very much.

Does "Leo iii" ring any bells for any of you :>) ?

Regards.

I have had SBS 2003 for about a year. I did most of my work from

feature stopped working. I have visited System > Remote tab and
checked the lower box. I have visited TODO list and executed item
3.
I have installed T/S licence manager even though it seemed
unecessary.

Can you please suggest further avenues for investigation?

Many thanks.

Unless you have a terminal server, uninstall Terminal Service license
manager.
Can you telnet to your public IP on 3389? In a command prompt on your
home
PC,

telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.3389

Does it fail, or give you a blank screen?

Check using RWW to see if you can get to any computer on the LAN. If
you
can
get to a desktop, try connecting to it, and then type this in a
command
prompt:

telnet servername 3389 <enter>

If that works, it's a problem in your firewall, or your ISP could be
blocking ports.
