We are noticing that this is more frequently.

XP SP2 cannot connect to servers. Is anyone else experiancing this?

Click Remote Desktop connection and immediatly a box pops up.

the client could not establish a remote connection to the computer

the most likely causes of this error are:
1) remote connections might not be enabled on the remote computer
2) the maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote computer
3) a network error has occurred while establishing the connection

This happens to all external servers but to internal sercer ok. Can ping the
external servers

Tried turning off firewall no difference. Latest pc this has happened to
logged in as administrator still same prob. Done XP repair and reinstall.
still no go.

When reinstalling did before SP1 update and SP2 update, still wouldn't
connect

Friday we even had reports that a W98 pc is now experiancing this.

In view of different sites and all different steps on an XP reinstall
leading me to think it is a server windows update. However other pcs on the
same network have no problem.... ;-)

Found this and seems to be happening elsewhere

Hi,

I've had this problem with RDP on WinXP Pro since SP2. The only thing that
the machines have in common is they both have 2 NICs (1 has 1 x 10/100 and 1
x 10/100/1000, the other has 2 x 10/100/1000). I've not tried removing one
to see if that cures it. For the record, one PC was SP1 upgraded to SP2, the
other was installed from a SP2 CD.

My workaround so far has been to simply replace termsrv.dll with the version
found in SP1. You need to do this in Safe Mode, otherwise the file's locked.
I told MicroSoft this about 6 months ago, but they don't seem to have made
it common knowledge....

HTH,

Iain
