Remote desktop web connection

[ljCharlie]

I installed the remote desktop web connection service and it seems to be working fine. However, when I tried to connect to it using a browser, I got to the login page but the "Connect" button is not working despite I put in all the information. The "Connect" button is grayed out. Any idea why this happens?

Well, I found out that the web browser need to install Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. I'm not sure if this ActiveX control is installed by default or not. If not, then I might not be able to connect to my pc once I'm on the road.

One other question, when I instaleld the remote desktop activeX control, I got in...but somehow it connects to my domain server instead of my client computer on my network. How do I specify which computer I want to connect to that is behind a router? In the router I open a remote desktop connection port for the client to listen for any remote desktop connection. This port that I manually specify is not the default port of 3389; therefore, I also change the listening port on the client to reflect this too. But still, it's not working. It kept login me into the domain server instead of the client computer.

You need to forward through the router two ports: one for the web connection, and one for the RD session:
