A simple test. From your home PC ping IP address of your laptop. Is it
successful?

Peter,

Yes, that worked perfect, all times <1ms.

I can connect from my laptop to my home PC, but not the other way round.

Just to recap, my laptop is Windows XP, RDC is enabled, ticked in the
firewall.

When I connect to the laptop via RDC, I get a black screen up, with the bar
along the top with my laptop's IP address and an error message in the centre
of the screen stating "The remote computer has ended the connection".

Install MS05-19 on your laptop, reboot, try again;

Peter,

Thanks for your support.

I have installed the above, rebooted and I am still getting the same
problem/symptoms.

Check laptop event log for errors. What is it doing when you try to connect
to it?

Try to upgrade video driver on the laptop. Set driver hardware acceleration
(Settings | Troubleshoot) to full.

Having the same situation. Was working fine, all of the sudden it
stops. Trying to connect from one computer on my home network to
another with "the remote computer has ended the connection". Verified
the computer is listening on standard port. Disabled firewall, spyware
scanner and virus scanner. Enabled and re-enabled and tried every fix
I could find in the forums. Checked every service, pinged etc.

Finally I rolled back to XP service pack one and once again, my remote
desktop connection is working. Nothing different, no changes other
than uninstalling SP2. Just to verify the experiment I reinstalled SP2
and, as expected, I started to get the same error message.

Don't know what to do here - it seems that to use the function I'm
going to have to stick to SP1!

Any other suggestions out there?

I wanted to unistall SP2, however I am unable to do this.

This problem only started after I had upgraded to SP2.

Can anyone else help with this problem?
