Can you telnet port 3389?

Hi,

On my lan I have 2 desktops both running XP pro, with RDP enabled.

I could successfully establish remote desktop session into each other.

Both from A to B or vice-versa from B to A.

I added a third desktop C to the lan; (same hardware and software
configuration, except more ram)

Enabled RDP on desktop-C.

(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections is
set to Zero)

I have administrator privileges on all desktops A, B and C.

But I cannot establish a remote desktop sesssion from either A or B into C.

error message : "The connection was ended because of an network error.
Please try connecting to the remote machine again."

but I can establish a remote desktop session from C into both A and B.

Windows Firewall settings on all 3 desktops A, B and C is set to OFF.

What could be the reason for this one-way connectivity?

What should I check for?

Any clues will be appreciated.
