Weird problem, although I seem to remember another person with a similar problem. My problem is
trying to find that old thread.
So if you disable the Windows SP2 firewall on the PC you still can not access it using Remote
Desktop from another PC on your local LAN?
Any chance you have some other personal firewall software installed on that particular PC? Any
anti-virus software running that may be causing a problem?
Going back to the Event Log, was there anything in the log of interest? You should be logging both
successful and failed log on attempts...
