    What do you mean by you "get to the "welcome screen but not further"?

    The only welcome message I see is when it is in the final stages 
(I've been
authenticated) and then it goes on to show me the desktop.

    I would think it is checking permissions then.  Does it just hang? or
is there any message?

    Are you sure the login you are using to RDP is permitted on the client
to login remotely?  I.e. if you go to the system properties page
(controlpanel->system, "advanced system settings", then select the 'Remote'
tab -- bottom section shows where you can select which users are allowed.

    Might check the event logs on the target system to see if it says
anything about any attempts to login via remote-desktop...
