the network address is invalid

i have a windows 2003 server that i can no longer remote connect to.
When i try logging in vie remote desktop, after i put in my password and
hit enter i get the following error message: The system cannot log you
on due to the following error: the network address is invalid. Please
try again or contact your system administrator.
I can ping the address fine, i can even go to the server via
network neighborhood, copy, delete, modify files fine. I could access
the server remotely before but suddenly it stops working.
in the log files i only see a error as follows: Logon rejected for
XXXXXXXXXXXXX\administrator. Unable to obtain Terminal Server User
Configuration. Error: The network address is invalid.

turns out that remote access server was not ticked in routing and remote
access. So i ticked it and rebooted the server and all is well. Don't
know how it got turned off.
