I recently installed Windows 7, all is well so far, apart from using RDP to access computers outside my domain.

We use a datacenter, outside of our domain.

I was using Windows Vista before (not sure if this is relevant) - I could RDP no problem to the machines (using their machine names - Web10 for example)

I have changed my IP address to be the same as it was when i was using vista

We use a draytek firewall - we use DMZ Host to map my IP to an external ip- which is allowed to access the datacenter

I've disabled windows firewall

When i try to connect in Remote Desktop client, using Web10, I can't connect, however, if I enter the actual IP address, i can.

I have run out of ideas... any help is appreciated!
