Connection timed out (10060)

[jpm]

in my situation, the ip address is correct... i do in fact connect to the 
remote machine.  it's just that only a title bar is displayed, no window of 
the remote desktop is displayed.  i can right-click on the title bar and 
check the connection info which indicates that the connection is functioning 
normally.  but obviously, something isn't normal.
