Using windows RDP, I'm trying to connect to a remote machine to which I connected fine moments earlier. I had to reboot the server…
Now, I type in my credentials and it looks like its working (the status text rapidly changes).
"Connecting to remote server"
"Configuring remote session"
then it does nothing and returns to the main connection window. No error message. Just does nothing.
I can connect to other machines fine. If I enter a wrong password, it rejects me.

The credientials are stored as the connection is being built. So even though it asks, doesn't mean it is connected when doing so. Verify that RDP is running on that machine and that the Firewall isn't interfering with your connection. Also, check the event logs to see if possibly the service crashed for some reason. My first vote would be the connection is being blocked by the windows firewall.
