I've cant get a connection to WindowsXP computer using Remote Desktop. I've enabled remote desktop, the user is added to callers list and has a password. The PC is connected with a cable modem and I'm using Dns2Go to get the IP. I never connect, what am I doing wrong?

Spell out the exact steps you're using to connect. Is this an internet connection? Is the XPPro firewall blocking incoming traffic? What, if any, messages are you receiving?

After we know a little more we can take it from there.

I found the problem, Windows XP turned on the firewall. After disabling the firewall, I could connect. But what I really want to know is if I can connect to another Windows XP PC that is behind NAT. I have a client who wants to connect to his workstation connected to the internet and we share the internet from the server with Sygate ICS software. All the workstations are given their IP with the Sygate DHCP. I can connect to the server but not any of the workstations. Is this possible?
