I have computer with Win XP (SP2). It has <IP adress>.
Ping to this address runs ok. On this computer netstat command returns :

C:\Documents and Settings\Marek>netstat -na | findstr 3389
TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

Firewall on this computer is down.

But I can not connect to its desktop from other computer in the same local
network.
Error message "Can not connect to computer (etc)...". Login windows is not
shown.

From this computer I can:

telnet localhost 3389

but I can not:

telnet <IP address> 3389

I can conntect to this addres form other computer usung the same syntax
(telnet <IP adress> 3389).

What is wrong?

MP

I have seen reports from folks running either NAV 2005 worm protection or
OneCare Live Beta causing problems like this.

Can you ping? make sure no other firewall or security software blocking the LAN traffic.
