Re: Question on ports and Remote Desktop web access

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, I've worked through all the
suggestions with no luck. The interesting thing is that this happens on two
separate host computers that are set up (slightly) differently. I can't
imagine what the problem might be. In any event, I think the easiest
solution is to bookmark the http://www.remotenetworktechnology.com/tsweb
page, then any time I'm on a new computer that needs the ActiveX control, I
go there first and download it, which only takes a few seconds.
