Re: Remote Access fails but RDP via RWW works to a 2003R2 box

Glad to hear you got it fixed Keith. For SBS 2003, in order to allow a remote desktop connection to a client computer through Remote Web Workplace, TS Proxy is used to forward TS requests through a firewall on TCP port 4125, in essence keeping the connection alive. I suspect this might be what was confusing you.

Per your comments, I checked the router, but that was fine. Then I ran CIECW
and double checked the firewall settings. Sure enought, remote terminal
wasn't checked. Things now work after setting the access:)

What confused me was that even the firewall set to disallow remote
terminals, I could indeed go thru RWW and invoke a terminal session to the
server and the various workstations (using my XP box). I would have assumed
in the firewall disallowed Remote terminals it wouldn't have worked, so I
didn't think of rechecking the firewall settings...

Thanks for the clues!!

Hi Keith,

Some thoughts...

Any errors in the event logs on the server or the remote workstation?

Sounds like port 3389 traffic is working in the LAN but not passing through
the router.

How many NICs do you have in the SBS server?

Are both your remote workstation router and the SBS router using the same
subnet (e.g., both using 192.168.1.x)?

Do you have ISA installed on the SBS server?

Have you re-run CEICW, enabled the firewall, selected your services
(including Terminal Services), then finish the rest of CEICW? (and don't
allow CEICW to use UPNP to set up the router)
