I have a SBS network with XP clients. One of these clients has suddenly
stopped responding to Remote Desktop.
That is, i can remote desktop out from this client, but can't remote
desktop to it from other clients or the sbs server.
Furthermore, while i can access all normal network services from the
desktop, i can't access the desktop's C$ share remotely.
From that client i can telnet to the localhost port 3389 and it sits
there (conenction is opened).
Remotely the connection is just timing out.
When i disable the Windows firewall, it has no effect. I've also turned
on logging on the firewall, and i can't see any dropped connections when
it is active.
Turning off antivirus makes no difference. There is no firewall as part of
this anti-virus app, and the same app is installed LAN-wide.
As a brain wave i just tried connectin to IIS on this XP and:
http://
ping
are both timing out.
It is as if as far as the rest of the network is concerned, this machine
is unreachable. All incoming connections appear to just timeout.
I have considered that it might have been a dns issue, and i can
confirm that using ip in place of dns makes no difference.
For all intents and purposes, this machine is unable to be reached from
anywhere on the local network.
Help!
