I have 11 computers on a network all running XP Professional. I sometimes
use Remote Desktop to configure different things on them. There is one
computer, however, that I cannot get into despite the fact that it is set up
to allow remote user access under system properties. The computer has access
to the network, and it shows up under “My Network Places”. I can’t see
anything different from this computer compared to the others. What else can
I check to try to get the Remote Desktop to work?

There is some troubleshooting help, including logging information, on this
page that may help you...

Any software firewall software running on that PC?
Is NAV 2005 worm protection running on that PC?
Lately some MS OneCare Live Beta users have been reporting issues like
this...
