RE: Loopback on XP Pro with Terminal Services

That sounds pretty plausible. My only problem is that on XP Pro (unlike
2000/2003 server) I can't find a Terminal Server Manager to do what you
suggest. Is there a registy entry or some other setting.

Thanks
Carl

I haven't researched this to know the exact cause but TS "remembers" its
connections via what I assume to be something similar to the guid. This
appears to be unique to the session unless you save and transfer the session
to a different system(?)

I would assume that you have the terminal server in remote admin mode so you
are only authorized 2 concurrent sessions. You have probably used both of
these with PC1. Ran into this and had to make sure that everyone logs off
and disconnects before ending the session (not just closing the windows).
Then set TS to end the session if it is idle of X minutes.

Log onto TS from PC1 and goto the TS Manager. It will probably show 2
sessions, you can end the second session from there.

This is probable a MS issue not SSH.

hope this helps...
