Re: Unable to Connect to Server/Client Desktop using RWW

You might get more "eyes", and therefore more response in the SBS 2003 group.

microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

Are the remotes that fail public computers? Could they have a policy/firewall that prohibits ActiveX controls from being installed?

Hello.

SBS2003, SP2, Exchange, ISA2004, SQL Server 2005, SharePoint 2.0, Two nics, router, switch, DynDNS static IP, FIOS Internet.

When i attempt to use RWW from a remote computer by going to https://xxxxxxxx.DynDNS.Org/Remote, after logging in as administrator, i get the RWW menu of:
Connect to Server Desktops
Connect to Client Desktops
Monitor Help Desk
Administer the company's internal Web site
View server performance report
View server usage report

Every option on this screen works, no matter where i am remotely, except when i attempt to Connect to Server Desktops or Connect to Client Desktops it brings me to the list of servers(we only have one) or the list of client computers. When i select one and click Connect, it does nothing but give me a blank RWW screen with just the Log Off and Main Menu options.

No error occurs. It just does nothing.

This only happens on some remote computers. All remote computers that i tried it on have Windows XP SP2(not SP3). Some of them work but others give the results explained above and i can't figure out what is different on the remote computers that are connecting as opposed to the remote computers that don't connect.

I ran CEICW on the server several times.

Any help in resolving this issue would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony
