RDP from Vista to XP fails - you are already connected

The RDP connection from the new Vista Business laptop to the Windows/XP Pro
PC was working, briefly, for a couple of weeks. This was after the home
network was expanded with Linksys router and wireless laptop.

Now, the message "The client could not connect. You are already connected to
this computer. A new console session could not be established" is displayed.
Both computers have been shutdown and restarted. Any ideas as what could be
wrong?
 
RDP from Vista to XP seems to work on a test system. Used a Vista PC (same
Business Edition, SP1) to an XP/Pro SP3 and it worked. The XP PC is
firewalled. Is there some other factor between VIsta and XP that could cause
RDP to fail?
