RDP and SP2 Incompatibilities?

[Guest]

Before installing SP2, I was able to log on to my computer remotely using
Remote Desktop. I'm no longer able to do so. The computer works in every
other way, it's just RDP that's blocked.

I have a Linksys Router, NAV 2005, XP Pro, and now SP2. The router is
configured to forward port 3389 (RDP) to my home computer and I've disabled
the firewalls within both NAV and SP2. However the XP security status still
shows that the NAV firewall is enabled (even though I've verified it to be
off). The only thing new in this configuration is SP2. What's causing this
erroneous status and/or the RDP sessions to be blocked?
