We can get to the log on page.

Hi - try posting this in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for all SBS
questions. RWW is part of SBS only (and SBS does a lot of other things its
own way) so you'll get the best help in there.

If you're having problems accessing the newsgroups or finding the right
ones, try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even
Outlook Express, rather than the pretty clunky web interface to the
newsgroups. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark
messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your
posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.

From there, once logged on we are taken to the main menu page.
There you select the task to access the Server desktop, or to access a
client station or any other task and click to proceed.
And after you select the task the server just stops
All you get in response to the command is a blank page with headinga
and the log off - Main menu choices.
After a few minutes an error message appears:
***************
VBScript: Remote Desktop Disconnected
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote
connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to
accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are
preventing your connection. Please try connecting again later. If the
problem continues to occur, contact your administrator.

OK
**********************************
We know that the remote connection is enabled. The server is not too
busy. There are no other connections, the network is working.
We can access the Exchange and retrieve email, on the same sever.
We know we connect to the server since the logon page and subsequent
pages emanate from it.
How can we solve this remote access problem? Any suggestions and help
will be appreciated.
