Remote Assistance gets disconnected

When I "accept" a remote assitance request, I get the following message in
the "Remote Assistance" window "Remote Assistance connection disconnected.
Please try again."

I've shut down all firewalls, virus programs, adware/spyware programs, pop
up blockers, and stil can't get it to make the connection. I'm doing this
on the house LAN with both computers conncted to the router via ethernet
cable. If I initiate a "Remote Assistance" request from the other computer
it works just fine. I'm runninig XP Pro on both machines.

Any help sure would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
