Winxp (32 Bit), Remote Desktop And Svchost.exe
I have just recently been experiencing problems with Remote Desktop application on WinXP (32 bit) not allowing me to connect to a machine. After much troubleshooting, I found that I had to delete the svchost.exe entries in the BitDefender firewall exceptions to get it to work. After removing all instances of svchost.exe from the list in BD, it worked. Now, one day later, I am faced with it not working again.
The XP machine is up to date with patches, etc. This problem just started occurring in the past couple of days. I have two other machines on the same network that have the same version of BD and they can be accessed from the non working machine via remote desktop, however, they cannot access the problem machine via RD. The issue seems to be solely related to the one machine.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what I may be able to do would be greatly appreciated.

Hello aj montgomery,
Try to reset your Firewall profile.
BD Security Center -> Settings -> Firewall -> Traffic -> Reset profile
When the Wizard appears, select Trusted network. I hope this helps.
