Remote desktop connection error

[Michael]

Hi all,

I cant connect into my XP prof machine using remote desktop, remote desktop
is enabled,
checked and the rule is listed in the firewall exceptions, to allow from
internal network.

if i run netstat -a,

TCP main:3389 main:0 LISTENING

its listening on 3389, I can telnet from the XP box and the port is open,
but cant access from other boxes on same network.

The only problem i can see is in 'Select Remote Users' area, In the location
field only the localhost is listed, and i cant edit. I thought may be due to
an inactive service, so ive enabled all of the serives i have previously
disabled, now all active, and still same problem.

anyone have any ideas


thnx

michael
