To the OP: If NMap is installed on the FBSD box, try: # nmap -sS -P0 -p 3389 ip_of_rdp_box ..if the port appears open, try: # telnet ip_of_rdp_box 3389 ...and see what you get. If you see nothing, refer to the logs of the 2k3 server (Event Viewer I believe it is called). Failing that, see if there is a 'feature' to drop back to non-SSL mode for RDP for the time being, to at least get the FBSD boxen to 'see' the service. Troubleshooting can commence from there. Steve
