Why is it when on my laptop at home, I can connect to my desktop via remote access, and it works fine, but when on the road I cannot connect? Help!

in a hotel room with the laptop. also it gives me the error message; client could not connect to the remote computer. remotr connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy, it is also possible network problems are preventing your connection,,, sounds simple right? does my desktop have to have an internet explorer page(any web site) open to connect?

make sure while you are out of home your desktop should be properly connected with internet and your desktop should be logged on then only you can remote access to your desktop
