RDP from Vista to XP fails - you are already connected

[Guest Keith]

The RDP connection from the new Vista Business laptop to the Windows/XP Pro

PC was working, briefly, for a couple of weeks. This was after the home

network was expanded with Linksys router and wireless laptop.

 

Now, the message "The client could not connect. You are already connected to

this computer. A new console session could not be established" is displayed.

Both computers have been shutdown and restarted. Any ideas as what could be

wrong?

RDP from Vista to XP seems to work on a test system. Used a Vista PC (same

Business Edition, SP1) to an XP/Pro SP3 and it worked. The XP PC is

firewalled. Is there some other factor between VIsta and XP that could cause

RDP to fail?
