</div>What I'm suggesting is a telnet to the RDP port (RDP and telnet are<br>
both TCP). A "telnet [hostname] 3389" command. It's not entirely<br>
meaningful, but can tell you something. After you start the session,<br>
type a couple letters. If it responds with either garbage or the<br>
cursor flying around this at least tells you that the port is open for<br>
connections from the machine you're on. If it says you never got a<br>
connection, you know the port's blocked somewhere.<br>

</div>I was originally thinking software on your linux box. However, if all<br>
your testing has been done remotely from your home network, it may be<br>
your ISP blocking that port. You'll want to route a different<br>
external port from your router, this also makes it so your service<br>
doesn't show up in scans.<br>

<br>I tried the telnet command on my linux box and this is what i got:<br>----------------------------------------<br>telnet> open 192.168.1.3<br>Trying 192.168.1.3...<br>telnet: connect to address <a href="http://192.168.1.3">192.168.1.3</a>: Connection refused<br>
