in my situation, the ip address is correct... i do in fact connect to the
remote machine. it's just that only a title bar is displayed, no window of
the remote desktop is displayed. i can right-click on the title bar and
check the connection info which indicates that the connection is functioning
normally. but obviously, something isn't normal.

Thanks for your answer, but to quote Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who,
"Look at me, I'm stupid!" I typed in the wrong IP address. It is working
fine now.
what antivirus are you using?
some antivirus will disable remote software
either the software isn't listenig;
there is a firewall in place
the firewall isn't set to allow it through
or the AV is stopping it

I read a number of messages on this forum about this particular message,

Both the client and server are running Windows XP. From this client, I
can
connect to a number of machines in my office, but one in particular is
not
working. I know the IP address is correct because I can use Remote
Desktop
to connect to it.
Other than setting a password, I left all the defaults in place, which
is
how it appears to be on the other machines (I am not the one who
installed
it on the other machines).
The Windows Firewall is turned off, and no other firewall is installed
on
the machine.
If I try to telnet to the machine using the VNC default port (I saw
something about this in one of the messages, but not what response I
should receive), I get the message "Could not open connection to the
host,
on port 5900: Connect failed" This must have something to do with the
problem, as I am able to telnet to another one of the machines on which
VNC is working.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
