3389 problems

[Guest]

I have had a problem remotely connecting to my XP Prof box for some time.
I'm not sure exactly when it started. It may have been after installing some
VPN software. Anyway, when I run port query to port 127.0.0.1, the result is
listening. When I run it from a remote PC, it is filtered.

I've lloked through the article here
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/RemoteDesktop/RemoteDesktopSetupandTroubleshooting.html

But I do not see a solution. Is there a way to re-install that service?

If TCP Port 3389 is filtered when checked from a remote location then you
more than likely have a firewall blocking the port. Is the PC your trying to
reach behind a firewall or router? If so you need to forward/open TCP Port
3389 through the firewall/router to the PCs private LAN IP.

The PC I am trying to remote connect to IS NOT behind any kind of router or
firewall. As I mentioned, I seem to recall this starting after installing
VPN software, which I use to connect to my clients networks.

What VPN software?

Is the VPN software running on the PC when you try to connect from another
PC using RDP?

Have you tried uninstalling the VPN software and test again?

Can the Term Srv be re-initialized / installed?

Sorry...forgot the first question.

It was either CISCO VPN client or AT&T VPN Client software

2. Re-registering Remote Desktop using the command line that
follows...Reboot the PC after doing this...

regsvr32 remotepg.dll

3. Otherwise try a repair install of Windows XP... Note the warnings on the
page and backup important data just to be safe...
