Remote control over a XP Pro RDP session after installing SP2

Before installing SP2 on a XP Pro client, I was able to monitor a remote RDP
session from another session on a 2003 Server.

In Terminal Services Manager, after connecting to the XP client, I was able
to click "Remote control".

After SP2, when I click "Connect to computer" and specify computer name, I
get the error "Unable to find server".

I have tried disabling the XP firewall, but I got same results.

Same thing on another XP client with SP2.

What can I do to monitor the XP session from remote?

Thank you,
