Remote Desktop Issue

Hi everyone. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue. I am able to connect to all five of my servers using Remote Desktops in Windows XP, from any machine I use with the exception of one. On this particular machine, I can connect to only 2 of the 5 servers. When I try to connect to the other 3, it just tells me "Connecting to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx..." and then flashes back to "Disconnected from Server".

Any ideas as to why this is?

I should also add that until recently, I've been able to connect to all 5 servers with no issues on this machine... however, I can't think of anything that has changed in the last few days that would cause this problem.

No firewall is blocking it, Terminal Service is enabled. I can remote to the servers using any other machine except that particular one. And even on that one, I can still remote into any other servers/clients that I want, just not the 3 of the 5 that I need. I'm running Windows Server 2003.

About the only other factor I can think of would be patch level. I assume they are all updated equally and all the same version of XP.
UltraVNC would be a quick sidestep, but not a solution.
