RDP - Vista to XP Pro - drops imediately

Hello all,

Target system is XP Pro SP2+, with the RDP Client 6.0 update installed

Client is Vsta Business, also up to patch

If I attempt to connect to the XP Pro system from home or on the road
with an XP system RDP works fine. If I use the Vista Business laptop I can
connect, but then I drop after a second or so.

I've gone to the page suggested that shows the Vista RDP advanced setting
suggestions and made the changes. I've also checked the firewall settings on
the XP system exceptions and added an RDP exception to port 3389 in the Vista
firewall exception list. Before I added the exception to the Vista system
firewall I would connect, get part of a screen and then get a "reconnect"
message.

I'm going to test a Vista to Vista connection with the laptop today and see
if that works.

Is there anything else I should do ?

Thanks,

Jacob
