Remote desktop not working

Has anyone had luck connecting to a server at work from home using FiOS at home?  We have a Linksys VPN router at the office.  Can access the office network using mobile broadband and other internet service providers but not FiOS.  Our ISP for the office is Verizon DSL.  The VPN client has no problem connecting to the office, but then remote desktop will not allow the connection.  Does Verizon block this?  I have made sure that the service is enabled in the router.   Thanks in advance if anyone has advice.  -CJ

Oregon Washington and VA have this capability at this time we are looking to release to general public sometime next week. Keep your fingers crossed

As of 12/31/08, the ability to use remote desktop still seems to not be available.  Is there an update as to when this functionality will be unlocked?

Thanks

ok OBVIOUSLY I was born on another planet and can't read right thinking that this was remote DVR lol my mistake let's see what can be done about this issue

Verizon blocks certian ports but nothing that would prevent a VPN connection.

Hello CJ,

I'm having the exact problem as you did, i.e. VPN connection established, but remote desktop doesn't work.

Do you mind saying if your problem has been solved, and how?

Thanks,

What Operating System are you using at home ?

XP Remote Desktop uses port 3389, are you port forwarding this to your home desktop ?
