I would like to set up a Windows XP Pro computer as a terminal server for a single Pentium 2 PC, but I can't get it to work with two concurrent connections. If you log on to the old PC while another user is connected to the new (terminal server) PC, he will be disconnected. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Per Micro$ Ref. Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Desktop

Q. The local computer screen locks when a user is connected remotely. How can I get more than one connection to a computer running Windows XP Professional?
A. If you want to have more than one person simultaneously use a computer running Windows XP Professional, you could try Remote Assistance for collaboration and support scenarios. Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services allows multiple users, as will Windows Server 2003, when it becomes available.
