Remote Desktop Connection broken when firewall installed.

We've recently installed a Netscreen 5gt at the office. Prior to putting it online we used WinXP Remote Desktop Connection to access PC's at home. Once the firewall went up, we could no longer get connected. How do I configure the firewall to allow outbound access using this protocol?
This is an urgent problem for us.
Thanx.

Thats wierd that is woudl cause a problem on the way out.
I assume you have TCP port 3389 opened up on the routers - especially the ones at home.
Can you ping the computers at home?

There is a router upstream from the firewall. I didn't think to check there.
