XP firewal: can't connect in via remote desktop

[Michael]

Hi all,

I cant connect into my XP prof machine using remote desktop,

remote desktop is enabled,
added myself as user,
checked and the rule is listed in the firewall exceptions, to allow from
internal network.

if i run netstat -a,

TCP main:3389 main:0 LISTENING

its listening on 3389, I can telnet from the XP box and the port is open,
but cant access from other boxes on same network.

So it seems that for some reason that the firewall is blocking the port,
anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

thnx

michael

Sounds like a needed service has been disabled

yeah thats what i originally thought, so i reenabled remote connection and
checked its dependencies and all were 'running'

got me stumped

thnx
