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

Hello Merv.

Thanks for the link to sbs newsgroups. I wish there was a list like that
for newsgroups in news.microsoft.com.

Ports. I tested for port 4125 on a couple of sites that test for open
ports. Each site indicated that port 4125 was not open. However, i tested
it on both computers that have the connect problem as well as computers that
don't have the connect problem.

So, i'm not sure of what ports are all about. When they say that you need
to open a port, how do you do that?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

A little more info about the SBS newsgroups

Sounds like port 4125 may be blocked by the remote machines (by installed
firewall or router).

Hello Larry.

Thanks for your help.

I wish there was a list of newsgroup names and what they are used for.

When i tried the remotes, i tried both public and non-public. Either way
gives the same results. I have the seen the ActiveX control problem.
This is not the same thing because there is no error and no indication of
any messages where it is looking for something.

Thanks,
Tony

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
