Remote Desktop Issue

[Maurice]

Have a vista desktop and two laptops on the same subnet. Laptop A can RDP to
the vista machine but not Laptop B. Laptop B can be pinged from Laptop A.
Laptop B has allowed remote desktop accessibility, has firewall configured
for remote desktop as well. It is my understanding that no additional ports
need be opened. How can one troubleshoot this?

Can you telnet port 3389 from A to B?
