I have a strange issue with XP and remote desktop that I have not seen before and need assistance with. If I use MSTSC to connect to a remote desktop, it connects okay, If I disconnect, It will not connect again and times out saying that the remote desktop is too busy to accept incoming connections. If I reboot the host XP-Pro computer, I can connect, ONCE and then same issue. I have removed all firewall software, turned off any anti-virus, disabled windows firewall etc - All to narrow down the issue.

I have connected the two computers directly together using a cross over cable to eliminate the router - Same issue. Verified the registrr Terminal services settings and all are standard, port is standard etc etc etc. II connect from the host back to the one that I want to use to connect to (A Laptop) no problem - It connects every time but not the other way around - I even went as far as exporting the HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Terminal Server key from the laptop and overwrote the one on the desktop - Still the same issue as it will not work.
