Cant connect using Reomte Desktop

Suddenly I can no longer connect via remote desktop to a computer that I've been accessing for months.

My operating system is W2000 pro. I get the following message :

The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled etc, etc ....

When I PING the remote computer I get :

Reply from 217.41.150.106 TTL expired in transit
(217.41.150.106 is not the IP of remote by the way)

If I start in SAFE mode (with networking) I can PING the remote successfully but still can't connect.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Sorry Steve I should have been clearer. The IP of the remote is actually 81.138.75.62
I don't know what 217.41.150.106 is !! But that's the message that comes back when I ping 81.138.75.62. I assume there is no problem with the remote because others can get access no problem.
