You might try removing and reinstalling the terminal services service. Also, you need to make sure that the ports that it requires to be open are indeed open. What those ports are, however, escapes me at this moment. Drew _____ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dianna G.

I tried removing the registry keys like one of the help docs said. I have terminal server in remote administration mode. It just keeps saying it can't connect and I don't know why. Terminal server service is running. Why isn't this working? *pull hair out* Dianna
