Hi everyone,

Trying to remote desktop from my office pc to home. (using web component and mstsc)
- both PCs are running XP
- remote desktop is enabled on home PC
- remote desktop works on home PC if I connect using a PC on the same LAN
- have router in front of PC at home. Have setup port forward rule to forward TCP port 3389 to home pc
- have installed remote desktop web component on IIS server on home pc. IIS listening on a custom port number.
- I can connect to http://<homepc>:<port-x>/tsweb. I get the Remote desktop web connection default page
- When I press connect I get a -pause- then, "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled . . ."
- the same error occurs when I use the XP remote desktop client

I can ping/tracert my router at home from work, connect to the router's web management console and the /tsweb hosted by IIS on my home pc.

any ideas?

You also need TCP Port 80 (IIS) forwarded in order to use the web method, or in your case the custom
port number.

Port forwarding has been set up for IIS as I can get to the /tsweb connection screen.

The router isn't really aware of what applications are running on your pc only the traffic passing through it.
A port forward usually involves setting up a service and then adding that service to an inbound or outbound firewall rule (depends on your type of router).
To setup up a port forward to allow web traffic from the internet to your home pc you would create a service with the following characteristics:
Name: web
Type: TCP
PortStart: 80 (or what ever port you have IIS running on)
PortEnd: 80
host: <local ip of your pc>

Attach this service to your inbound rule table (depends on router) and any traffic that hits your router's public ip address will get forwarded to your local pc's ip address that is running IIS.
