One of the new security settings allows to only connect to the newest clients (or something like that; I don't have it right in front of me) and I believe that is the default choice.  I know you double checked the settings, but that's my first thought.

Bob,

I do have the the following selected "Allow connections from computers 
running any version of Remote Desktop".

I assume this is what you were referring to.  Any other suggestions 
would be helpful.
