Make sure the Vista Remote Desktop client is configured like this when
connecting to a XP Pro Remote Desktop (RDP) host machine...

You also need to make sure Remote Desktop is enabled on the XP Pro machine
and that TCP Port 3389 is open/forwarded on any software firewall the XP box
is running. See this page for general help, hints, etc for using Remote
Desktop...

Remember is your trying to connect over the public internet you need TCP
Port 3389 open/forwarded in any router or firewall the XP box is behind.
Call using the public IP of the router.
