To start with your last question:
> Also someone did mention to me that Windows XP Pro comes with a
> terminal server license, is this true?

No operating system comes with a build-in Terminal Server Client
Access License. BUT: W2K Pro and XP Pro clients receive a free TS
CAL from the TS Licensing Server, *when they connect to a W2K
Terminal Server* (NOT to a Windows 2003 TS!).

So regardless of the OS on your TS, you need an activated TS
Licensing Server, and the TS must be able to locate it.
If you run 2003 on the TS, you also have to install TS CALs. For
2003, TS CALs are either Per User or Per Device. Your TS must be
in the same licensing mode as the type of TS CALs you installed.

Check the EventLog on your TS to see the cause of your problem,
and feel free to repost here with the EventIDs and Source
information, as well as the OS on your TS.
