Remote Desktop into Vista fails

In Vista Business on our AD domain I configured Remote Desktop to allow
connections from computers running any version of remote desktop. I added the
needed users as DOMAIN\username. Windows Firewall has an exeception for
Remote Desktop checked, but it is turned off anyway. When I try to connect
from a W2k3 server using RDP 6 client, I get message 'This computer can't
connect to the remote computer." The Vista machine can remote into other
machines on the domain, and that server can connect into other machines on
the domain. What should I look at on the Vista machine?

RE: Remote Desktop into Vista fails

When you try to logon are you using domain\user credentials, or local
credentials to the machine? Have you tried logging in as the domain admin?

I would also double check the firewall to make sure they are properly
configured. I know you've done this but never hurts to double check.
