Re: Suddenly can't remote destop into my XP workstation??

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Are you running the latest graphics/video adapter drivers on the Remote Desktop host PC? Are you running any VPN client software like a Cisco client? This page has help troubleshooting Windows Firewall problems.

Up until the other day I could remote into my desktop.

I'm running xp pro.

I checked and remote access is enabled and my user is allowed. I
check
and no apparently firewall is running on my desktop... though not
100%
sure how to check in xp.

From my desktop I can remote out to other stations both inside and
outside our firewall.

But when I attempt to remote into my desktop (even from my desktop)..
it tries for a few seconds and comes right back with no warning,
error
or even an eventlog entry.

I've rebooted and still can't remote in.
