connecting to a secured Windows 2003 terminal server

[FreeBSD]

Dear Darko

Thanks for your mail.

To answer your question, no, we are on the same network and from my 
machine everything is open. Also, I tried it from my home, which has the 
basic firewall allowing me to connect to whereever I want (I tried it 
with no firewall as well), nothing worked.

Since my office lan can connect to the secured TServer using IE and 
other client from windows, and both my office lan and home can connect 
to the non-SSL TServer using rdesktop, I am suspecting I might be 
needing different client.

any other pointers / links welcome

Thanks
