Can not connect to computer while using RDC

Q1: I have computer with Win XP (SP2). It has <IP adress>.
Ping to this address runs ok. On this computer netstat command returns :

C:\Documents and Settings\Marek>netstat -na | findstr 3389
  TCP    0.0.0.0:3389           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

Firewall on this computer is down.

But I can not connect to its desktop from other computer in the same local
network.
Error message "Can not connect to computer (etc)...". Login windows is not
shown.

From this computer I can:

telnet localhost 3389

but I can not:

telnet <IP address> 3389

I can conntect to this addres form other computer usung the same syntax
(telnet <IP adress> 3389).

What is wrong?

A1: Can the remote computer telnet the port 3389?

How many users can access to desktop on Win XP Prof? Is there anyy tool to
watch how many users attached to this deskop at any moment?

A2: Can you ping? make sure no other firewall or security software blocking the
LAN traffic.

Q3: Yes, thanks. I forget about firewall in antivirus program.

Many thanks,
