I've enabled RDP on a laptop, but I can't connect to it. Pinging the laptop works. nmap
shows ports open, but not RDP. netstat
on the laptop shows nothing listening on 3389. I've also tried rebooting.
Additional info:

you've rebooted I assume? – Frank Thomas – 2013-06-05T20:51:10.073
Yep, I've tried rebooting. – Nick ODell – 2013-06-05T21:04:01.307
Have you checked to see if Windows firewall is blocking it? – Derrick – 2013-06-05T22:06:10.340
1Check to see if the service is running. Start---Run---Services.msc – Scandalist – 2013-06-05T22:09:00.827
@Scandalist That worked. Turns out 'Remote Desktop Services' was disabled. If you make that an answer, I'll accept it. Thanks! – Nick ODell – 2013-06-05T22:22:14.527
