With XP Pro, no firewall enabled, Terminal Services is apparently not running or listening. When trying to access from an XPP client remotely through the router, or a Win98 RDP client on the LAN, or a Mac OSX client on the LAN, I get the dreaded "The client could not connect to the remote computer" error message with "Either remote connections are not enabled...." description.
Here's some more information:
o Doing a "netstat -ano" I do not see port 3389 in a LISTENING state.
o The listening is set to 3389 in the Registry port under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber". Yes, as 0x00000d3d.
o I see the status of RDPSSW32 in the Services Manager as Started. I do not see other RDP or Termainal Services items.
I'm totally stumped by this one. I would like to reinstall the Terminal Services server portion from my XPP installation disk, but I don't have a clue there either. Please help!
Lost And Clueless,
