SOLVED: Cant rdp into xp

phoeneousphoeneous Member Posts: 2,333 ■■■■■■■□□□
This is strange. I have one box that I cannot rdp into from anywhere. I can browse it remotely, I can vnc into it, I can ping it, I can run remote mmc's for it, but I cannot rdp into it. This was working at one point in the past.

Things Ive done to troubleshoot:

RDP enabled
Firewall turned off
Checked remote desktop users group
Checked secpol.msc for "allowed to logon through terminal services group" memberships
Checked all related services
Checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server key is set to 0
Ran regsvr32 remotepg.dll

Computer is in correct OU and getting all correct policies. No additional software firewalls or av are installed.

    What happens if you try connecting to port 3389 with telnet? That should at least narrow down the possibilities.

    telnet 1.2.3.4 3389

    Yeah, thats how I figured it out. Also ran netstat -a and saw that it was listening on 3391.

    Checked registry for this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber and the value was at 3391. All other machines are set to 3389 so I changed it on this machine and now I can rdp into it. Wonder how that happened...

    All is well now.
