    The address you're trying to RDP to is the loopback address 127.0.0.3. You're trying to remote back to yourself. That isn't going to work. You should enter the name (or IP address) of the remote machine you're trying to remote to. Ideally use the machine name so you don't have to worry about IP address changes.
