I replaced a winnt domain controller with windows 2003 in mixed mode. The
windows 2003 server can remote desktop connect to the windows 2000 and
windows 2003. However, windows 2000 cannot remote desktop connect to windows
2003 but can remote desktop to windows 2000. Is there a way to allow windows
2000 server to remote desktop connect to windows 2003?

I'm a little confused by your statement "However, windows 2000 ... can
remote desktop to windows 2000." Sounds like a dog biting its own tail.

To act as a host for a Remote Desktop session, the following
conditions must be met:
- The host machine must be a Windows Server or a WinXP
Professional workstation.
- It must listen on port 3389 (unless the remote PC specifies a
different port number).
- The firewall must not block port 3389.

A good starting point is to use telnet.exe to check if port 3389
is open. You should also state if you run your tests on an internal
or external network.
