For that you have to enable the "allow log on locally" which is presented in the Domain controller security in your win2k3 server. And your account must have rights to access the remote logging.

I would try a few different things:

1) ping the machine - it will tell you if your computer can even contact the remote computer at the moment

Start-> Run -> cmd
Will bring up a command line and then
ping (either machine name or ip address here)
The IP address is found by doing and ipconfig at the command line of the remote machine, and the name is whatever the machine was named when it was first installed.

2) Make sure RDP is available on the remote machine.
Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Remote -> Allow Remote Desktop
That should bring up a box where you can type in the username of the person you want to be able to access the machine.

That's what I'd do first.

PS - this is in the Windows Articles section at the moment. Next time you should make sure to post in the Windows Forum section, and you will get more responses, probably faster as well.
