Suddenly RDP won't connect. I'm running two machines on WinXP SP3 32-bit, and suddenly, yesterday, RDP won't connect.

I don't get any error message, RDP just blinks "Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and then dissapears without any error message. I've tried three different computers (all running WinXP SP3), and none of them connecting to this one specific host. These clients can connect to each other via RDP without any problem.

I've checked the event log on the problematic server, but there is no clue as to what can be the problem. I've also tried to reboot this server, but there is no improvment.

Trond Svendsen
