Re: 3389 problems

If TCP Port 3389 is filtered when checked from a remote location then you
more than likely have a firewall blocking the port. Is the PC your trying to
reach behind a firewall or router? If so you need to forward/open TCP Port
3389 through the firewall/router to the PCs private LAN IP.

I have had a problem remotely connecting to my XP Prof box for some time.
I'm not sure exactly when it started. It may have been after installing
some
VPN software. Anyway, when I run port query to port 127.0.0.1, the result
is
listening. When I run it from a remote PC, it is filtered.

I've lloked through the article here:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/RemoteDesktop/RemoteDesktopSetupandTroubleshooting.html

But I do not see a solution. Is there a way to re-install that service?

Tanks
