Cannot RDP after applying XP SP2

[Tom Jones]

Hello all-

I just applied XP SP2 and now I cannot Remote Desktop into my computer
remotely. Does anyone know what changes need to be made to allow this? I have
a Linksys router that is already forwarding port 3389 as it was before and
working just fine tuntil I applied SP2. I have checked my Windows Firewall
Settings to allow RDP through and I have also tried it with the Windows
Firewall disabled. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Tom

If you end up with an error message stating that this didn't find anything,
go up into the address bar and add the ".*" at the end and press Enter. You
will then get all the sites you should have seen to get you the info. For
some reason, the link wasn't quite complete. I am posting it again in a
different format to help it get found in one click.

Hi

Actually, the link is complete, it is just Outlook Express (or maybe
IE) that stupidly removes the .* at the end when you click on the link.

The link opens fine for me using Mozilla as newsreader/browser...
