I have a SBS network with XP clients. One of these clients has suddenly

stopped responding to Remote Desktop.

 

That is, i can remote desktop out from this client, but can't remote

desktop to it from other clients or the sbs server.

 

Furthermore, while i can access all normal network services from the

desktop, i can't access the desktop's C$ share remotely.

 

From that client i can telnet to the localhost port 3389 and it sits

there (conenction is opened).

 

Remotely the connection is just timing out.

 

When i disable the Windows firewall, it has no effect. I've also turned

on logging on the firewall, and i can't see any dropped connections when

it is active.

 

 

Turning off antivirus makes no difference. There is no firewall as part of

this anti-virus app, and the same app is installed LAN-wide.

 

As a brain wave i just tried connectin to IIS on this XP and:

 

http://

ping

 

are both timing out.

 

It is as if as far as the rest of the network is concerned, this machine

is unreachable. All incoming connections appear to just timeout.

 

I have considered that it might have been a dns issue, and i can

confirm that using ip in place of dns makes no difference.

 

For all intents and purposes, this machine is unable to be reached from

anywhere on the local network.

 

Help!

you didn't somehow setup the network server or router to block it?

mac address filter or such?

possibly a permissions problem?
