I have a W2K Server running Terminal Services in Remote Administration Mode.
This server also has 2 NICS, pointing to different networks. Using Remote
Desktop Connection from Win XP Pro, I can connect to one NIC (ie 10.0.0.1/24)
no problem, but not the other. When I connect to other (ie 10.10.0.1/24) I
get the message, "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote
connections might not be enabled on the local computer.....". I used to be
able to connect to both NIC remotely (from either network or through a direct
RAS connection to the server), but I have not been able to to connect to one
for about a week.

- There is nothing in the event viewer to lead me to believe that there is
something wrong with TS
- I can ping both addresses and connect to shares using both addresses
- I can connect to both NICs using NetMeeting (Desktop sharing), VNC
- I have recently uninstalled KB 840987 as I read in the forum that some
people had connection issues with this patch installed. Other than that, all
patches are up to date.
- I only have one account on the server, so I am using the same one everytime.
- I have the exact same server (hardware and software verbatim) at another
location and I connect to both networks with XP Pro using RDC no problem.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
 
I found the problem. I looked at little closer at Terminal Services
Configuration Properties of the connection. It turns out the TS was only
configured for use on 1 of the NICS. Once I enabled all NICS, everything
worked!

I had already checked NAT, port forwarding and all the firewalls
