I set the ip to the local machine, and could connect locally ok. I also ran
netstat -a to verify the ports were being listen to, and they were. Is there
anyway to test the remote connection, other than trying to connection from a
remote computer... Can you test the remote connection via a computer on the
local network? I assume that cannot be done. Thanks for your help so far.

If your testing over your local LAN use the local LAN IP of the Remote.
Desktop [RDC] host/server PC. If testing from a remote location use the
public IP as assigned by your ISP. If your RDC host/server is behind a
router you need both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDC) forwarded
through the router to your RDC host/server PC.
Keep in mind many ISPs block TCP Port 80 on residential accounts. You can
test by going to the http://www.canyouseeme.org site while logged on the RDC
host/server PC. Also keep in mind your work network admins may block TCP
Port 3389 outbound for security reasons. Make sure you check with them if
this is a legitimate work related need, ie. connecting the trusted work
network to your untrusted home network and PC.

I am trying to set up my mce xp machine as a host, I followed everything
in
the article by Tony Northrup dated July 2003. When I try to connect, it
says
the webpage cannot be displayed. It says this when I try to connect from
computers on the local network or when I try to connect from my work
computer. My goal is to be able to access my home computer from work. I
am
trying to connect through explorer by entering
http://ipaddress:port/tsweb/
If I go to control panel, performance and maintenance, admin tools,
internet
information services. I expanded the computer name, web sites, and right
clicked on default web site and properties. ON the web site tab, I
changed
the tcp from 80 to my birthday. What ip address is it looking for. The
internal ip of the host computer, or my external ip?
On both of the other machines on the network, I can click on the remote
desktop icon and enter the ip address of the host computer and connect. I
need to be able to connect from work. Any suggestions????? I do have
service pack two installed, but not service pack 3.
