RDP access from Windows ME client

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Try updating the client software
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/rdclie...) to
help rule out any corruption in the application...

Are these other machines you tested on the same remote network as the
XP Pro SP1 machine in question?

I am experiencing this exact same problem with a Windws ME user. He had been successfully connecting from a remote site via VPN and then using RDP to connect to a Windows 2003 Server. We get the same error whether he tries to rdp to the server or a Windows XP workstation. However, he was able to successfully connect to a Windows 2000 Server which had terminal services enabled for administrative mode.

We did download the client for MS's web site, uninstall the RDP client and re-install it. However, we still have the same problem.

Any more advice? Anyone?
