Re: Question on ports and Remote Desktop web access

Thanks. I have downloaded and installed that file, and it looks like it
might work, but...

I'm now having a problem with the ActiveX control. It won't install on
either of the computers I'm using - one is a Windows 2000, the other is XP
Professional. I've already tried manually downloading and installing the
Remote Desktop ActiveX control from Microsoft, but it still tries to
download every time I try to connect (and fails). What's the trick to this?
Both computers are running Symantec AntiVirus - could that be preventing the
installation?
