When I connect to remote machine I do not see my disk drives

I am connecting form one XP Pro SP2 machine to another across the
Internet using RDP. On the Local Resources tab I have both Disk Drives
and Printers checked. However, when I connect to the host and open
Windows Explorer I do not see my disk drives.

I do see my disk drives when I connect to another XP Pro SP2 machine at
another site so I do not think the problem is caused by settings on my
computer. Either there is something I am not setting correctly in the
Remote Desktop client or there is something not configured right on the
host computer.

What would prevent me from seeing my disk drives on the host?

Thanks.

Its possible drive redirection has been disabled via a Group Policy...

Thanks for responding. All of the group policy settings show "Not
Configured" so I assume this is not the problem. Is that correct?

Any other suggestions?

This is on the RDP host, correct?

That is correct. I am referring to the group policy settings on the
host.
