Hi All,
Ever since SP2 has been installed on my systems (both Pro, SP2) the Remote
Desktop functionality has changed (for the worse).
Situation:
pc downstairs to remotely work on the desktop of the 'central' pc upstairs.
As I said eversince SP2 remote desktop works, but only once, meaning when
the central pc has been started up I can RDP to it.
In the past when I 'logged off' (*not* disconnect!) the remote desktop
session from the central pc, I was able to establish a it again.
Now, once logoff has been issued, trying to re-establish a remote desktop
connection results in what is described in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321624,:
The client could not establish a connection to the remote computer.
The most likely causes for this error are:
1) Remote connections might not be enabled at the remote computer.
2) The maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote computer.
3) A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
This is an exact description of the message received. However the fix
mentioned is pre-SP2 and the references made don't compute with what's
actually on the system.
Once the central pc is restarted, establishing e connection works again.
(again only once).
At the network level I've seen the TCP-three way handshake pass by,
immediately followed by a TCP Reset package, thus resulting in the message.
It makes no difference wether I have Windows Firewall running or my own
preferred firewall, or have no firewall running, so to me it does not appear
to be a firewall type limitation. (Besides this was running through my
firewall before and those rules have not changed!)
The link to MS from the event reported in Eventvwr is a dud, no help.
Anyone here, pleeeease?????
