Having trouble with rdesktop!

I am a new Linux user, and I am having trouble connecting to a Windows 2003 server with rdesktop. I know I have connectivity because I can ping from the DSL machine to the server. I have terminal services and remote desktop activated on the Windows server. I am tring to connect remotely from a PC running DSL version 3.4 which is a live CD with rdesktop already loaded.

When I click on the rdesktop icon on the desktop it asks for the server address, which I put in and then the box disappears and nothing happens, so I tried to log in from the command line with the command rdesktop -u administrator -p - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the x's are the server address. I get the error message ERROR: connect: Connection refused.

Anybody have any ideas on what the problem may be? Any help is appreciated.

Potentially a firewall issue.
