Vista Remote Desktop Connection problem

[dbuchanan]

How do I establish a Remote Desltop Connection to this Vista machine?

I am not new to remoting, but I do not know how to trouble shoot it.

Settings:
Vista Enterprise x64 is set to "Allow connections only from computers
running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication" because this is on
a small local network. The selection of Remote Desktop users given
permission in the Vista machine is appropriate and matches those trying to
connect.

Facts abont how I am trying to connect:
Neither the sever (Windows Server 2003 R2) or the laptop (Windows XP Pro
SP2) can Remote into the Vista machine.
The server can Remote into the laptop and the Vista machine can Remote into
both the server and the laptop.

Error Message:
When I attempt to connect I get the following error messate:
==============
The Client could not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to
accept connections. It is also possilbe that network problems are preventing
your connetion.
Please try again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact your
administrator.
[ok][help]
==============

(I have also tried "Allow connections from computers running any version of
Remote Desktop".)

What is the cause and the remedy?

Thank you,
Doug

Do a simple test. Can you telnet port 3389?

Hello Robert,

Apparently not.
I did, and it responded as shown...

Do you have other security software? For troubleshooting, run clean boot.
Please post back with the result.
