For some reason simple RDP or Terminal Services will not connect to one
particular server (not running licensed TermServ - just std version) whereas
I could before. I can terminal serv to another server from this one
unavailable server but cannot connect to it from any other server on the
network, nor remotely from home.

The knowlege base doesn't give any good answers whatsoever.

Connecting via Terminal Services get "The Terminal Server has ended the
connection"

Trying with Remote Desktop I get "The connection was ended because of a
network error"

All TCP/IP is correct, DNS is correct, and all network connectivity with
applications, etc. are all just fine. Everything works and has worked
without issues with the exception of simply trying to TermServ to this
particular server in question.

I had this problem long ago and fixed it but cannot for the life of me
recall what I did nor did I document it (shame on me I know!!!)

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there anything in the EventLog on the Terminal Server?
Is the server listening on port 3389? Check with netstat -an
Can you telnet to port 3389?

Which OS is the server running? And which ServicePack?
What do you mean with "not running licensed TermServ - just
std version"? Is the server running in Remote Administration mode
or Application Server mode (if W2K)?
