Hi Mark,

if you run netstat -an can you see the TCP port 45454 listed?

First try to connect to the server on LAN with this command (from e.g.
Windows XP)

mstsc /v:server.domain.com:45454

where server.domain.com is name of your Terminal Server where you want to
connect and 45454 is TCP port where RDP is listening...

Make sure that if there are any firewalls between your client and server
that there are proper rules on firewall that will allow the connection to
45454 TCP port.

I hope this helps,
