I have 2 PC's both running Windows XP and both try to conect with Remore
Desktop Connection to a third one. One of them works great while the other
pops a message follows this post. If I choose "YES" ist seems connecting but
than it says that the session is disconnecting and than a new "Remote
Desktop Disconnected" message says "TheConnection to the
remote computer was broken caused by network error..."

Can someone advise please?
Regards
Ronny

"The user <Domain or Computer
Name>\<username> is currently logged on to this computer.
If you continue, this user's Windows session will end and
any unsaved data will be lost. Do you want to continue?"

Make sure they are all fully updated.

Service Pack 3, post Service Pack 3 updates, latest video card and network
interface card drivers from the corresponding manufacturers, latest version
of the Remote Desktop Client.

Also - I would also go ahead and enable Network Level Authentication (NLA)
in each of the Windows XP machines. To enable NLA, you have to turn on the
Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP).

Also - if you remotely connect to a machine as a user not in that machine's
administrators group and a user in the administrators group is logged into
said remote machine already - you will be unable to log them off.
