Today, I am trying to connect to Vista Ultimate Remote Desktop (RD) from VPC Windows Server 2003, then the connection was refused with unknown reasons. There is no problem of connecting to Server 2003 from Vista, which has been tested. The Remote Desktop option has been turned on for Vista. After googling the cause, I found the default port of RD is 3389. Then I use "netstat -a" on server 2003 which displayed that port is being listened, while it isn't on Vista. So the cause has been found: the Terminal Service is disabled!
After checking the services, as expected, two terminal services related both stopped. afterwards, anyone knows what to do...
In conclusion, turn on the RD option will not start the terminal services automatically, presuming they are disabled and don't start by default. Thus, there are three things to check:
1. PING (of course)
2. Allow Remote Desktop in Remote Settings which can be found on the left-up cornor of computer properties
3. Start Terminal Services if you haven't.
Bingo! You can see beautiful Vista desktop popping on your tedious desktop now!
