Win XP refuses a remote desktop login after a reboot

Hello,

I’m connecting to a Win XP computer (PC A) from another Win XP computer (PC B).

Everything works ok, but if I attempt to connect to A after A reboots, I’m getting a “Remote Desktop Disconnected” error message on B.

I can only connect after I manually log in to A from the console, i.e. using the keyboard attached to A. Then I can freely connect/disconnect to/from A.

I want to run A as a standalone PC with no monitor, no keyboard & no mouse. How do I accomplish a state when A doesn’t require the first login to be from the A’s console?

Thanks much for any input!
