Just updated XP with SP2 cannot remote access

[fidleid]

I held out updating my main computer because I had problems when installing SP2 on my other computers but I gave in and installed it and now I cannot remote access it. Is the a firewall problem and how can I fix it and still use the firewall?

If your trying to RDP into the system, you have to make sure that in the firewall that either Remote Desktop or Remote Assistance is allowed through. Usually, I'm just able to go into system properties, click the remote tab and make sure that "Remote Desktop" is slected.
If your using Netmeeting, you have to make sure that Windows Netmeeting is allowed through the firewall. You also have to add the program C:\Windows\System32\mnmsrvc.exe is allowed through.
