If your using the web based method, ie. using IIS, then you need to both set
that up on the server then call using the public IP of the server/firewall
with appropriate port forwarding, ie. both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port
3389 (RDP). If this is a generic web server then the web based method
probably will not work. I don't use either the web based method or a SBS box
so I can't comment further.
I suggest you post to the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs news group.
Can you call using the normal RDP client and method, ie. don't use the web
based method? You need TCP Port 3389 forwarded through any firewall to the
private static LAN IP of your work PC. You would call using the public IP of
any firewall. This page has general help for the normal, ie. non-web based,
method.
