RDP 6 and SBS 2003

I'm getting "The Client could not connect. you are already connected to the
console of this computer. A new console session cannot be established."

This problem doesn't happen with RDP 5.2 and I cannot find a solution on any
of microsoft's web sites and i'm really struggling here.

Paul,

Not sure if this will help you, but I was getting the same BS message, and none of the solutions I could find made a difference.

I am using my laptop (XP Pro, computer name laptop1) and trying to connect to another XP Pro box, computer name "gary".

Instead of trying to connect to the remote machine using the computer name, I used the IP address. Once I did that, I realized that even using the IP address for "gary", it was telling me that laptop1\gary (my username on laptop1 is gary) was logged on and would be logged off if I continued. Why the hell would that happen?? Because on the laptop, my hosts file had an entry for the machine named "gary" but the IP of my laptop1. Not sure how the entry got there, but when I had to reset my wireless router, I guess it gave the IP that used to be for gary to laptop1. Clear as mud?

Fix: navigate to hosts file and delete the entry. This is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Just open with notepad.

Hope this helps.

Gary
