I was trying to trouble shoot problems on a user's home PC which is running XP. I downloaded the Remote client for win2000.
Had the user intitate the remote desktop via system icon.

Problem:
The computer ID or IP address would not let me connect. I tried pinging the users IP
which failed.
The user is connected to the internet via a cable modem.

Am I missing a step?

-The host computer may need to turn off the Internet Connection Firewall.
-If the host has a router or firewall software port 3389 needs to be opened.
-The host computers username you are connecting to must have a password.
