Remote Desktop connects to some but not others

[CEV]

I am able to Remote Desktop into a couple of different pc's here at work.
There are a couple of others however that I have tried and I am not able to
for some reason. I beleive I have them setup the same. All pc's are WinXPPro
and have Remote Desktop enabled. We are in a workgroup environment and the
workgroup name is the same on all. I am getting an error stating the remote
computer could not be found. What may I be missing?

Thanks,

Chad

Are you calling by name or IP? If by name, try by IP and see if that
works...

Are you running any firewall software on these particular PCs that may be
blocking incoming Remote Desktop requests?

Beyond that see this page for help, hints, etc...

It was the Windows Firewall.
