Re: 404 when trying to connect via Remote Desktop Web Connection

Hmmm...since I don't use IIS I am kind of winging it here...:-)

Is the IIS server PC and the PC you want to connect to with RDP the same PC?

If so when you get the default IIS RDP page do you simply click on the
"Connect" button? You should not input a server address in that case.

Hi Al -

To answer your questions and pose some additional ones:

Have you forwarded TCP Port 80 (IIS) through your home router?

Yes

Does your home ISP block TCP Port 80 inbound?
I don't think so... see my response to the next question.

Can you connect to the PC over your local LAN using the Web connection?
No... this is how I've been trying to connect, via
http://192.168.1.100/tsweb/ Note that I can reach the screen that asks
for
server and screen size (which pulls content from the host PC, so there's
no
blocking of the ports, etc.). It's just that when I click Connect, I get
a
404 page rather than the login screen for the host PC.

If
you can check the router for the proper port forwarding settings.
I did; they're correct.

If you
can't check the PC to see if any personal firewall software is blocking
TCP
Port 80.
I also disabled all local firewall software as a precaution

Thanks for your help,
Erik
