Greetings,

I'm dealing with a weird problem.

I'm trying to connect to a Terminal Services by the Internet.
The Terminal Services are in application Mode and the O.S. is Win2k
Server.
My computer is behind a ISA Server 2000 and the Terminal Services
Server also is behind a ISA Server 2000.

My computer is a windows XP Pro with SP2.

Every time I try I get the Error Message:
"Remote Desktop Disconnected"

"The client could not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too
busy to accept new connections.
It is also possible that network problems are preventing your
connection.

Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to ocurr,
contact you administrator"

The Weird part is that a colleague of mine can connect to the same
Server from is computer which is in the same lan and has the WinXP Pro
/w SP2.

I've read in some posting people suggesting to delete the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing registry entry and
reboot.
Which I did and didn't solve the problem.

Could someone give some pointers on how I can solve this issue?

Thank You

Check the EventLog on the Terminal Server. If you *don't* see any
Events about licensing there (you do have a TS Licensing Server
installed and activated, have you?), then it could be the firewall
on your XP client.
