remote desktop issue!

D

djc

when attempting to logon to an xp pro sp1 machine (that was upgraded from
win2k pro sp4) the logon fails and the security log shows the failure as
event ID 534, Logon type 10, Logon Process User32. The machine thinks I am
not allowed to logon via remote desktop. This happens even for the local
administrator account... all accounts are not being allowed????? remote
desktop is enabled and I even added the local administrators group to the
'allow logon via remote desktop' option in local security policy..

whats the problem???

"When you receive an invitation from an Internet user whose
computer is behind a router or firewall, the IP sent to you is
the Private IP behind the router or firewall, so that you can't
access the computer. To fix this issue: 1) use Notepad to open
the invitation to change the Private IP to the Public IP which
may be the router or firewall's IP. 2) Use Windows Messenger
to establish the Remote Assistance session".
