Can't Connect from an XPProSP2 to XPProSP2 computer

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

Hi,
I can connect from computer A to computer B, but not viceversa.

The error is:

"The Cliente could not connect to the remote computer
Romete connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to
accept new connections.
It is also possible that networl problems are preventing your connection"

I think I've tried everything:
-Checked the Remote Desktop checkbox in Remote tab.
-Checked for Terminal Services running on both comps.
-Did netstat -an and port 3389 is listening on both.
-I work in a Workgroup, and connect by cablemodem to the Internet, IPs are
dynamic. Both are in the same workgroup.
-Disabled guest user (don't even know why).
-Restarted each comp a lot of times.
-Both answer to PINGs and can see each other in My Network Places.
-Logged on both from Adminitrative users with passwords.

What else could I try to see if it works?

Thanks for any help,
Gustavo de la Espriella

You should try using ip address insted of computer name, and make sure
that "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager" is enabled (service),
in saying this i have three windows PC’s (xp pro X2 and win 2k) and
FreeBSD with samaba server, and hat service is disabled on all the
windows machies yet it works very well.

Tried telnet ("TELNET MyRemoteCompName 3389" ) on both computers, both
failed("Connect failed" ), but I still connect 1 way with remote desktop.
I have tried using IP, and it gives the same error.
In the meantime ive been using the "Beyond Remote Server/Client" Freeware,
which actually works pretty good. But I would really like to know why my
remote desktop doesnt work both ways, and would prefer to be using remote
desktop instead of third party freeware.

Thanks,
Gustavo
