Remote Desktop WAS working fine....then installed Movian client...

[Carl McClellan]

I set up a VPN connection (PPTP) with no XP firewall and I can connect to my
corporate network (from XP pro laptop) just fine. Then, I remote my XP
desktop - NO PROBLEMS for 6 months.

Today, I installed on my XP laptop a movian VPN (software) client for
another network. Since then, I am unable to remote my desktop client at
work. I can STILL VPN and ping everything, I simply cannot remote my XP
desktop (or anything else for that matter). I get the following error every
time:

Remote Desktop Disconnected: "The connection to the remote computer was
broken"

I tried removing the certificate key in the registry for
TermService/Paramters but this did not work. Again, I am able to VPN into
BOTH networks using the various VPN connections, I simply cannot establish
a Remote Desktop Connection to any of the servers/workstations at my
company. Also, I cannot telnet (any port) once I am connected.


Any Ideas? Please!

Now I can remote my desktop but only with 256 colors? What's up?

Before you connect to the remote machine, go to the Display tab in the
Remote Desktop Connection client and increase the display depth
there...
