Re: Using Remote Desktop From an SBS Domain

I am narrowing down where the problem is with connecting to an XP Pro
computer that is on a remote network now. I was able to use a dial-up
Internet connection, bypassing my SBS/ISA network all together. So the
machine that I'm trying to connect to is configured to accept Remote Desktop
Connections. Now I just have to figure what is preventing me from connecting
while I'm using my XP Workstation when connected to my SBS network. Would
ISA be preventing outbound RDP connections or do ports have to be open to
allow me to Remote Desktop out from my SBS network?

I've spent most of the day looking for information regarding the client end
of a Remote Desktop connection and have found little about it. Maybe it's
just not normally an issue.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jeff

I have looked at that article again today and also read through it
yesterday. It goes into detail about how to set the host computer up (the
machine who's desktop I'm wanting to connect to) but doesn't say much about
ports or settings on the client end. I have no control over the host end
but just wanted to be sure I have things set correctly on the client end to
allow this to work.

Thanks

From what I remember when you install tsweb on your host PC you can
change
the port number you connect to from 80 (default) to a port of your
choice.
Then obviously create the port forward in your router on your chosen port
to
the appropriate IP (local PC's IP) then connect to it in internet
explorer
using the following syntax: http://ipaddress:port/tsweb/

You still need to open 3389.

Have a careful read through those instructions I linked to, that article
explains exactly how to setup what you are trying to do.

It would appear that way but I'm not sure just how to change that. This
machine is on a University network and has a public IP address assigned
to
it. I have tried using the IP address in the Computer: box as well as
the
actual domain/computer name of the machine with the same results. You
sparked a question in my mind about installing tsweb on the host pc
though.
Am I assuming correctly that connecting using a web browser through ts
still
uses port 3389? Either way (using a web browser or the Remote Desktop
client) does it require any ports to be open on the client end?

Thanks

Hi Jeff

I read through very quickly but it sounds like you are connecting to
the
wrong machine.

Good solution is to install tsweb on the host machine, change the port
to
something other than 3389 then connect to the machine via your
browser.

Here's all the info you need:

Hope that helps

Make sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your

There
are a couple of things that make me question settings. One, when I
get
the

be
trying to logon to my SBS. The desktop picture thats on my server

and
the Windows Server logon screen appears for me to re-enter the

I'm also getting logon failure errors in my security log from the
server.
I
can however see the connection take place in ISA

Some history about my Internet connection. I have a fixed wireless
Internet
provider. The provider maintains a large wireless LAN that uses
private
IP
addresses.They have access points located on towers around the area
that
a
device from my location looks at. The Source Network Address:
10.10.2.4
is
the wireless IP address side of my router. In short my router has two
NIC's,
the 10.10.2.4 (fixed wireles side) and 192.168.0.x side.

Thanks

I am attempting to connect to a Windows XP Pro PC on a totally
different
network from a workstation on my SBS network. I have SBS 2003 SP1
with
ISA
2004. The PC that I'm trying to connect to does have a static IP
address
and I'm using that for the Computer Name in the Remote Desktop
Connection
client. I used "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 3389" to see if the remote
workstation was listening on the correct port and it is. My
question,
are
there any ISA adjustments needed on my network in order for me to
Remote
Desktop out to another XP Pro machine on a different network over
the
Internet? I'm using the c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe application
to
make
the connection. The remote host does not have Remote Desktop Web
Connection installed on it.

Thanks
Jeff
