Error message when a Remote Assistance connection fails in Windows ... :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921047
Remote Assistance will not connect when the requester is behind a non-UPnP
NAT device when e-mail is used to send the invitation file. When sending
invitation using Windows Messenger, a non-UPnP NAT device will work if one
client is behind a NAT device. If both the helper and requestor computers are
behind non-UPnP NAT devices then the Remote Assistance connection will fail.
