Re: Remote desktop connection to workstation

Aaron,

Instead of Remote Desktop Connection, I think you mean Remote Web Workplace
(RWW). Correct me if I'm wrong.

There's no need to change the default port on the workstation from 3389 to
3389. Change it back.

Configure the network per the following diagram:
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=154

Turn off DHCP on the router.
Assign the external SBS NIC a static IP in the same subnet as the router (as
indicated in the diagram)
Re-run CEICW (including enabling the firewall and selecting the services you
want). If you don't have a domain name, use the static WAN IP address of
the router when you configure the Web Server Certificate.
Then try to access the workstation via Remote Web Workplace from an external
computer using: https://<WAN_IP_Address>/remote
