Hello there.

It'll be a slightly long description, but it is a complicated issue and I don't know how to solve it. Let's start...

Got a Windows 2003 Server (SP2 and almost the latest updates installed) which is being used as a Terminal Server. I got a bunch of 20 clients in LAN connecting without any troubles (Win95 clients). Same sort of clients (Win95 with RDP client) are being used in a remote office on a different subnet (Class C). All has been working fine since someday in the morning the users started their clients and got no connection to the Terminal Server. I checked today with some GUI netstat and I could see that the connection *is being created*, but after some time it fades out (maybe timeout). Using a Windows Vista client on that remote subnet works well: got connected immediately.
Using a client from the remote site in the main offices' LAN also works ok.
Using a client from the LAN (same Win95 config) at the remote site DOESN'T WORK at all.

I don't feel like it's a networking issue, but *where* could the lack be sitting? Server has also been rebooted... I was thinking about the Terminal Server License Service: it has some 6 free licenses available.
Changed also NIC on the remote client...

Don't know where to look for. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
