Can't Connect to Remote Desktop via Web

[Golf]

Hi! I'm trying to set up mi PC (winxp pro) to accept
incoming connections to Remote Desktop via Web. I use a
3com router, so I've opened 3389 port and redirected it
to my local PC (public port 3389 redirected to private
port 3389 on local IP 172.26.x.x). Everything is
installed properly but I can't connect to the web
interface when I type mi public ip.
What I'm doing wrong? Do I have to open or redirect any
other port?
Everything works fine if I type mi private IP from any
other PC in my LAN.
Thanks.

You also need to forward TCP Port 80 (IIS)...

Thank's for the answer. But I've already forwarded de
port 80 to my private IP and it stills not working.
Any other idea?

To test this you must be at a remote PC. You can not be on your local LAN and use the public IP of
the router. Some ISP's do block TCP Port 80 because running a web server violates the terms of
agreement you sign with them. Check with your ISP to see if they block TCP Port 80.

Thank's for your fast answer. I'll check it at a remote
PC and post again.
