Default RDP issues

Hey all.

I am having RDP issues w/ one of my workstations.

This particular workstation is WinXP SP3. What happens is that I cannot make
an RDP connection to it. When I try to - almost immediately I get an error
saying I cannot make the connection: "This computer can't connect to the
remote computer", and feels as if some sort of firewall was blocking the
connection.

There are no firewalls on both computers. The said WS *is* able to make RDP
connection to our servers here, and to some other workstations, however, to
some - it can't connect (it seems that it particularly can't make the
connection to other SP3 WS's.

The WS has Symantec AntiVirus 10.1.8 installed. I have tried
enabling/disabling the firewall, adding the ports to exceptions, stopping
the serivce (all those on the said WS and my own from which I'm trying to
make the connection). After trying different ways, I have reinstalled the
OS, however, no use - I still have got the problem. I have tried
uninstalling the SAV completely, including every single registry entry for
it. I have tried changing the network cards (and some other things which I
don't remember right now).

When using netstat, I can't see the XP listening on 3389, although this is
the port specified to be open in the registry.

Any ideas? Any? I've Googled through hundreds of pages, but nothing seems to
help.

I'd be happy to get any advice. TIA.

Default RDP issues

Hi.

I've tried the hotfix you've provided, however, to no avail.

I've tried several configurations at the problematic WS and mine (which is
just fine) - firewall wise. At the moment the FW service is running but the
FW itself is in Off state. At both WS's the RDP is in the exception list.
I've tried enabling and disabling FW's at both WS's. I've tried disabling
the FW service. Nothing works.

Although the error does not indicate the connection is being refused, it
sure seems so, as the RDP doesn't wait for a timeout to give me the error,
it happens almost instantaneously.

XP SP3 comes with the new RDP 6.1 client and, usually, the destination
IP shouldn't matter. Is the windows firewall on the trouble WS on or
off? Firewall service enabled or disabled?

You could try and see if this hotfix and accompanying registry setting
helps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956072

Is the NIC driver current? Is the subnetting or VLAN stuff going on?
