Remote desktop account restrictions

[Al Kessler]

I have remote desktop set up from a desktop to a laptop. The connection is
over a LAN (wire to hub, wireless to laptop). I am the only user on both
machines and am the administrator. System is XP Pro. When I attempt to log
on, I get "Unable to log you on because of account restrictions." What am I
doing wrong?
