Vera,
I have 3389 open to my TS from the outside and use SSL and certificates
to get to the TS web page that's on another 2003 server and am still
receiving the connection failed message that Marius mentioned. Can you think
of anything else that I might be missing? I've tried name as well as private
IP address.
