I should mention that I also installed SP2 on my laptop and terminal
services work fine on it. I'm not sure what it is about the two
machines is making the difference, but I am guessing it is hardware
because I run nearly identical software configurations (with the
exception of server stuff and games which I don't run on the laptop).
The primary hardware differnces are that the desktop CPU/chipset/video
is AMD/nVidia/nVidia and the laptop is Intel/Intel/Intel.

As for the server software, I run apache (over ssl) and openvpn servers
on my desktop machine. These continued to work, even when I enabled the
SP2 firewall. But I never told the firewall to allow them! Terminal
services failed, even as I was able to confirm the firewall settings
from the command line. I would just say I don't understand how to use
the SP2 firewall, but I experienced problems even with it turned
completely off (red lights, warning shield, and all).
