remote desktop locks up remote host
I have set up a new computer on an existing windows 2003 sbs server network. The user who uses this computer remotes in freaquently using remote desktop connection connecting to xx.xx.xx.xx:3389. I have tried internally (from inside the local network) and externally to connect the workstation. When i try to connect, when propt i enter the windows credetials and wait, eventually the connection times out. On the Host computer receiving the remote connection, the computer locks up/freezes. The only way to anything from that point is to rebootthe host computer manually. I am onsite please help. I can establish the connection fine it seem when it tries to auth, that it freezes the local computer.

I have chnged the listening port and added an exception for the new port in windows firewall- rebooted and the problems still exists

It seem to only be affecting the 3 computers that i have installed recently on the network. Any ideas?
Anything showing in event viewer?

The firewall is configured to allow remote desktop connections, it is also controlled by sbs 2003 group policies fwiw.
