Remote Desktop disconnects before login

[lopezrx]

I have 3 XP Pro computers that I can do remote desktop to and from one
another just fine on a local ethernet. The 4th computer is running
wireless and when you do a remote desktop to it, you get a message
stating that it is being disconnected, even before the login screen
shows up.

I can map a drive to this 4th computer, but can't get remote desktop to
get to the login screen.

Any ideas?

Make sure the video drivers are up to date on the machines...

****************** Would the fact that the machine that I can't log
onto having a wide LCD make a difference, and should I look at the host
or the remote for driver problems?

AFAIK the LCD itself will not cause an issue...

Check the drivers on the 4th PC, ie. the one you can't log into.

Also check the event log for clues on that machine..
