Re: Remote DesktopQuestions

I enabled 3389 on the router using the IP of the host XP machine. Do I have
to do the same for port 80 on the router? I thought that was activated by
default (http). I enabled the rd connection on the windows firewall.

Yes, both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP) are required...

Ok, I did get everything set up for both client server connection; I am
trying to connect from IE browser on a Win2k machine. I have allowed
anonymous access on my IIS tsweb folder on my XP MCE and selected 'when
connecting to this resource-a directory on my computer
C:\WINDOWS\web\tsweb option'.

Now I open up a browser on my 'remote' machine (Win2K) and type in
http://pcname/tsweb but it won't connect. Do I also need to do anything
on the router allow port forwarding through a certain port?

Do you mean Internet Information Services (IIS)? IIS is used by the
Remote Desktop Web Connection. Note that IIS and Remote Desktop (host
mode) only are included in XP Pro and I guess MCE.

If you want to remotely access/control a XP Home machine I suggest you
look at UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in and XP video drivers (for
the host/server machine).

I am trying to setup Remote Desktop Web Connection for both XP Home
version and XP Media Center. Does anybody know if this is possible, or
do I have to upgrade to XP Pro to get this to work?
I tried to open Internet Services Manager, and discovered It wasn't
part of Administrative Tools on my XP Media Center edition. Is there
any way I can get AdminTools (i.e. Admin Pack, etc.) for XP in order to
do this?

Also how secure is the Remote Desktop Web Connection (compared to a VPN
connection)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
