Can't Remote/Firewall

K

Kevin A

I used to be able to remote desktop into my XP machine, now I can't. It
seems SP2 has screwed something up. I'm assuming that if you aren't running
the firewall services, then all incoming ports are disabled by default? The
firewall service won't start and I've followed several posts that I googled.
None of those seemed to work. From resetting winsock to deleting a reg
entry and letting it reset.

Any suggestions to getting RD running again? Or, if it is the firewall,
getting that running again? When I try to manually start it, it complains
about a DB error.

Please advise.

The firewall will only block ports if the service is running; it will not
affect traffic (ie all ports are open) if the service is stopped.

What's the error you are getting when the service attempts to start?
