I am unable to connect to my computer that has been setup to host a
remote desktop session. The remote desktop checkbox is selected under
system>remote. The windows firewall is turned off and the exception for
remote desktop is checked to allow it. I am running Windows XP Pro
SP2. I have no antivirus software running and netstat -as says that
port 3389 is listening. I am connected to the internet through a
Linksys DI-524 router. I don't think the router is the problem, because
another computer connected to the router was setup for RD and works
fine. I took the same steps to set it up on both machines which are
almost identical in os and hardware. One works, one doesnt. I know the
ip is correct because it finds the (host)computer, but sends back an
error citing a network error.I am thinking that at sometime my registry
was changed to cause port 3389 to go into stealth mode. I altered my
registry before for spyware infections to fix things. Is there some
location in the registry i can "regedit" and take 3389 out of stealth
mode? I am fairly sure no active programs are causing the problem.
Suggestions?
