Remote desktop not working

[Guest]

I have a pc with XP pro (current on updates)
I am able to use RDP to connect to many PC on my network.
When I try to connect to this one I get
"this computer can't connect to remote computer.
Try connecting again. If problem continues, contact the owner of the remote
computer or your system admin."

I can cause the computer to reboot and then try. It will allow the frist
login attempt to complete. If I try to log out and then log in again with
different credentials I get the error again.

I have check to make sure that user is in the local remote desktop group.

Any thoughts?

It is possible that that machine lacks SP2.

I have learned that anything is possible, So I just double checked.
It shows to have SP2 when I check the properties page of "My Computer" icon.
This strange, I have a network of 30+ pc and only one doing this.

I do apperciate the help on this.

Possibly, instead of lacking sp2, that machine you fail to connect to might
have a firewall in place without an exception for port 3389.
