Are you trying to log into a Windows 2000 Pro machine using Terminal Services? I don't believe you can. It's easier to use a freebie like tightvnc. This allow remote interaction of a pc via tcp/ip or netbios. You can get that at

http://www.tightvnc.com/

For more information on Terminal Services, check out

Thanks...with tightvnc installed, can you still connect to the machine with the regular VNC viewer?

 

[GlenJohnson]

Tightvnc prompts you to replace vnc connections with tightvnc connections. The great thing about tightvnc is it allows multiple people to be logged into one machine at the same time, where vnc would only allow one user to log into one machine. I was working with a consultant in Peurto Rico who was using tightvnc to log into a machine that I was also logged into which was located in a different part of the plant. We started a notepad session and were able to communicate that way.
