The Administrative Mode in W2k only allows two concurrent connection at one
time. The terminal server sessions configuration defaults to never for
idle terminal and disconnect session which means the session will never end
even when the user logged off the session. Check the configuration and
change them to 30 minutes or less and try it. Hope this helps.

Both are W2K Advanced server in Administrative Mode.
Pings to both are fine.

Subject: RE: Problem Connecting to Terminal Server
not entirely true because win2k pro and server come with a terminal server
license. They changed how the licensing works with Win2k terminal server.
The server no longer keeps all of the licenses but instead issues them to a
client that will always have it. Very hard to administer in my opinion
since
once the license is taken you can not get it back without calling up
microsoft and having them change it for you. The question that i would
have
is: Is server 1 an NT 4 terminal server or are they both Win2k terminal
servers running in admin mode? If both are win2k servers then the license
theory is dead since it would have the correct licensing on the machine
because it can attach to one of the Win2k machines. The next things i would
look at would be to check and make sure that you can ping it from that
machine, User profile is administrator of the box, and upgrade to the win2k
terminal services client if you have not done so already. Not sure if that
would help any since the old one should be able to connect to the server
but
just not be able to use the new features. It probably is not that 2 people
have already connected to it since that error message indicates that the
number of connections has been exceeded. Sorry couldn't help more.

shouldn't be a licenese issue... the Terminal Server is running in
Administrative Mode (no licensing required) not Application Sharing Mode...
If it was Licensing, I would expect that no clients could connect to
Server1:

Could this be a license issue?. We had similar problems on our citrix.

administration mode
Server2: W2K Advanced Server, SP1, running Terminal Server in remote

Client2 and Client3 can connect to Server1 and Server2 with no problems.
Client1 can connect to Server2 with no problem
Client1 cannot connect to Server1, get "the terminal server has ended the
connection" dialog box before a login box.
I have checked Technet and it is not:
