Re: Remote desktop connection to workstation

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Merv,

The reason that I was trying to work around the Remote Web Workplace was
because I'm recieving a "Parser Error" when going to:
https://<WAN_IP_Address>/remote. Is it possible to connect to a workstation
using the Remote Desktop Connection? To my understand, when you use the
"Connect to my computer" in RWW it is connecting the same way as remote
desktop connection. The reason that I changed the individual port number on
the workstation was so that I can use the ip address of the computer followed
by a colon and the port number, ie. 192.168.0.101:3390. If I need to connect
to another workstation, I can then change its default port so that I can
connect directly without interfering. By using the Remote Desktop Connection,
it is much easier and faster to connect, but if the only way we can get
through is the RWW then I suppose that is what we will have to do.
