Re: SBS Client Remote Issue

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

OK now I am recalling something I came across a long time ago about Verizon
Broadband card and RWW issues when compression is activated but I can't find
my notes now. Any recall or have a link? My gut is telling me this is the
problem.

OK to add more to the mystery.

1. When the user connects to a local router via wire or wireless all
works fine
2. When the user uses a Verizon Wireless broadband connection it fails.
3. On a different computer using the Verizon Wireless broadband all works
fine

This tells me.
1. The IE and ActiveX are working fine on this computer
2. Verizon Wireless broadband is not stopping this because I can get it
to work using another computer using the Verizon
3. It is something on THIS computer using Verizon that is the culprit

Thoughts?

For the remote client XPP...

Has it ever worked from this location & computer?

Are there other computers sharing the connection & what type of
connection is it (a retail home NAT/Gateway linksys/dlink/similar)?

Is the XP firewall turned on? If it is, turn it off completly just long
enough to restest. (same if there's a third party fw)

The other thing I might look at is if there is the antivirus product.

Also check the event logs on the XPP and see if anything sticks out
likely in the application log, but check the system log too.

The ActiveX prompt happens only the 1st time (as I would expect). I
have even shut down IE/restarted the process again (this time NOT
getting the ActiveX prompt) but just straight to the message box
about the "VBScript: The Remote Desktop Disconnected"

SBS 2003 R2
Window XP Pro client sitting at remote site

Problem: XP client can connect to \remote and log in to the SBS.
Then they can go to "connect to client computer" and try to
connect to a workstation in the SBS office. They are then
prompted to download the ActiveX control. BUT instead of starting
the connection to the client workstation I get a connection error
stating "VBScript: Remote Desktop Disconnected... The client
could not establish a connection to the remote computer. The
most likely causes are..." What I've done to fix:
1. This is IE8 so I go into Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and
"Reset" 2. I then go to Tools/Internet
Options/Security/Internet/Custom Level and "Enable" the "Allow
previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt"

This usually fixes the problem anytime a client cannot connect.
This client cannot connect to any remote network and I have
verified that the SBS office is not the problem (or a router/port
forward) because
I can get into the network from another computer outside the
office. It's definetly this XP Pro computer.

As an added piece from this XP computer I open up
Accessories/Remote Desktop Connection (3389 port) and it DOES
connect directly to the server. It's the 4425 RDP connection
that is not working. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Does it work for IE7 and IE6 users on different computers?

Client firewall & 4125 maybe. To clarify your info, does the XP
client get prompted to download the activex each attempt or just the
once (first)? --
