Re: REMOTE DESKTOP NOT WORKING ANY LONGER PLEASE HELP!
OK, and it's the host that is running Vista, is that correct?
Have you checked if it is listening on port 3389, with "netstat -
an" at a command prompt? Is the host located at your work? If so,
have you contacted the network administrator? There might be a
centrally managed GPO which disables Remote Desktop connections.
