I used to be able to remote into my Virtual PCs. It has been working for at least a year. Yesterday just stopped working... I cannot figure it out...

Things I have triple-checked: 1. My Virtual PCs have "Allow Remote Access" checked. 2. My Virtual PCs have an account in the Administrator group that is password protected. 3. My Host's entry in the registry for the Terminal Services Port is still the default of 3389.

So here is the strange thing. I can't even remote into the Virtual PC from it's host much less another PC... From the host, I can ping the Virtual PC and get a response but when trying to remote into it from the host I get the following error:

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1)Remote access to the server is not enabled. 2)The remote computer is turned off 3)The remote computer is not available on the network

My host is running Windows 7. Virtual PCs are running XP.

Thank you for looking at this!

Whilst you're still here (I don't have enough points to comment on SF): you can also try netstat -ano on the VM to verify that you are actually listening on port 3389. I'd suggest the firewall too except that wouldn't block a local connection. – Rup Jun 17 '10 at 15:09
