Can't connect w/Remote Desktop if not already logged into ..

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

I've got RDC setup on my home computer and access it regularly, however,
I've noticed that if I'm not already logged in at home I'm unable to
login from a remote machine I get an error saying it can't connect. Is
there a service somewhere that isn't enabled? What could be blocking me
from logging in from a remote computer after a system reboot for example?

I've tried with both the regular mstsc command and also with the
/console switch.

Thanks,
Sufian
