Windows 2003 Enterprise server and lost the ability to RDC into the server.
Ok, I'll start from the beginning. I set up the server on the other side of the house. I then went to my other computer to administer it using RDC. I did all the updates created file folders etc. It was working fine for days. Last night I enabled the VPN role so that I may access some files located on the server from work. As soon as I did that I lost my RDC connection. I restarted the server and I'm not able to RDC to the server anymore. I can still RDC to the other computers in the house. Can anyone identify what the cause of this is?
