Problem : The terminal server received large number of incomplete connections. The system may be under attack

I have a WIndows XP workstation that is fully patched and is set up for remote access. We haven’t been able to log into it remotely and when I check the log files, I see  the following messages;

The terminal server received large number of incomplete connections.  The system may be under attack
Event ID 1006
and the other message that I occationally get is as follows;

The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.
Event ID:      50

Any ideas? Is the Windows OS shutting down the remote access? For how long?
