Re: Remote Desktop Web Connection problem

I got pretty much everything working by reinstalling my system. I do not
know what exactly caused the problem...

Oops... I was wrong... both of these works from other computers on the LAN:

http://<DHCPipAddrOfHost>/TSWeb

http://<ComputerName>/TSWeb

More information:

My Local LAN is a Windows NT 4.0 network, but the Windows NT system is NOT
providing DHCP functionality for any of ther computers and is NOT providing
DNS service to the Windows Vista machine as it could not be added to the Win
NT domain. So the Vista machine, the desired host for RDP, is simply a
workgroup called WORKGROUP, left as default. The router recognizes the name
of the computer as well as the name of all the computers connecting to it.

Since I get the TSWeb login web page, it seems the router is passing me
through to the Vista host computer alright. Does that mean that IIS is the
culprit?

My router provides the IP addresses to all computers via DHCP. I can access
TSWeb from any machine connected to my router by
http://<ipaddrOfRouter>:MySpecificPort/TSWeb. But I CANNOT access TSWeb from
any machine by specifying the IP Address of the Vista Host as in
<IPAddr>/TSWeb or <IPAddr>:<SpecificPort>/TSWeb. Should I be able to access
TSWeb by specifying the machine's IP provided by the router? I saw this on
some web page when looking for solutions. But I don't know how to set up the
Web services to allow this if this is what I need.

If the port 80 and 3389 are open, it could be the 3rd party software. For
troubleshooting, start the Vista with clean boot. Please post back with the

I am so close! I am having problems getting Remote Desktop Web Connection
with Windows Vista Business edition, IIS 7.0 to work across the internet.
I
have read many articles on this site and others about setting it up. I
have
defined my own port and it is forwarded in my router to my PC host. When
I
am on any computer of my own local LAN network, I can bring up a web page
and
type http://ipaddrOfMyRouterAssignedByISP:port/TSWeb and it pops up with
the
login. I can login and everything works great! But when I try to go
outside
of my LAN, it pops up with the Remote Desktop Web Connection login just
great, but when I type in the server name, it says "The specified remote
computer could not be found. Verify that you have typed the correct
computer
name or IP address, and then try connecting again."

By the way, I have a laptop running Windows 2000 Pro and I can connect and
run this just fine when it is connected up wirelessly to my local LAN.
But
as soon as I leave my Lan wireless connection and go to another site and
connect to the internet, the Remote login pops up just fine, but it gives
the
message above about not being able to find the computer.



I have tried many things. I have disabled my Windows Vista Firewall. I
have no virus protection on my Vista yet since it is a new installation.
I
have set NAT filtering to Open on my router. I have set it to have a
default
DMZ Server in my router. I have forwarded ports 80, 3389, and my
particular
port in my router. Again, everything works great when on my LAN and going
through a web page specifying the IP address of my internet from ISP to
hit
my router.



I have verified by http://www.canyouseeme.org/ that my ISP is not blocking
ports 80, 3389, or the port I have chosen.



I am a little fuzzy on what ports I need to forward, so I forwarded
everything I could think of.

Thanks,

Jim M
