Ok... that only works for XP or Windows/SBS 2003. I thought that you were
trying to connect to a desktop not the server? You want to remotely connect
to the server (or it was just for testing)? If so, the instructions I gave
you will not work.

BTW-> Let me check this... because I don't ever recall having to do anything
to allow TS in Remote Admin mode in SBS2000.
