Remote Access Blocked on Windows Server 2003

is the server a member of a domain?
what error are you getting?

The server is not a member of a domain.  
It is a standalone on its own static IP behind a comcast modem.

what error are you getting?
also, can you connect to it internally (if it has an internal IP)?
if you can connect to it internally and not externally then it is a firewall/router issue.  Make sure that port 3389 is allowed/forwarded on your router/firewall.

also run 'netstat -an' from a command window on the server and make sure port 3389 is listening.

I ran netstat -an, and yes port 3389 is listening.

>>I ran netstat -an, and yes port 3389 is listening.
well that means that remote desktop is working on that server.

third time---WHAT ERROR?
second time-- can you connect to it internally (if it has an internal IP)?

Sorry, you'd think I didn't really want the answer;)

Error: (When attempting to RDP into server from outside)
"Remote Desktop Disconnected
This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
Try connecting again.  If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator."

Internal Connectivity:
The server resides in an office by itself with a comcast connection.  No other computers.
I might be able to get a laptop to test this though.

Note:
I will post an ipconfig /all soon to see if I am missing anything.

I found A LOT of information when I called Comcast to confirm some information.
   1. The static IP file they download to the modem had been "lost" -> so it was corrected.
   2.  And they assign an entire lot of static IP info -> IP, Subnet, Gateway, Prim.DNS, Sec.DNS
So I now have all of that in place.

Here is my ipconfig /all: (NOTE: I have change the literal IP's)

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

The following may be relevant as well:
  My Computer -> Properties -> Computer Name tab
                                                             Full Computer Name: SERVER1.domain.local
                                                             Workgroup: WORKGROUP
I originally DCPromo'd this machine to make a domain controller, but, later DCPromo'd it again to demote as I found the key application would not reside on a domain controller.

I also logged into our Comcast SMC modem and configured Port Forward for Port 3389.

When entering in the information on a WinXP machine for the RDP dialog, I seem unsure what I should put as the 'Domain'.

Am I able to RDP into this machine if it is in a WORKGROUP and not part of a domain?

I called Comcast back to confirm Router/Port Forward configuration...good thing:
I was given an entirely different configuration info report, so here is my 'ipconfig /all'

I also wanted to confirm I was seeing what I should be seeing on the 'netstat -an':
   TCP   0.0.0.0:3389   LISTENING
   Q? Should this be 10.1.10.2:3389?

I wonder if you are not part of domain, why would you see the dropdown list called "domain".
Anyways, in domain box, select the local server name then you are logged as local admin.

What a headache this one was, but, problem resolved.

If you look on the ipconfig screen it shows the user as: 'Administrator.DEVELOPMENT1'
DEVELOPMENT1 is the Computer Name.
So when attempting to login, I entered Administrator.DEVELOPMENT1 as the user name, left the domain blank, and got in.

I wonder if it had this because I had dcpromo'd to promote and then again to demote (the app installing can't go on a DC).

Anyhow, thanks for all the support it has been greatly appreciated.  Pressing on!
