Changing the port with TSWeb

[Guest]

Hi - I want to access my computer using the IIS and RDC - TSWeb. So I
installed the components, and setup IIS so that TSWeb is my main page.. So
when I go to http://computer - I get right in.

So my next thing is to change the port.. If I wanted to connect to
http://computer:1080. I changed the port in IIS and added in the
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RDPPort = 1080 line to the default.htm, but
when I connect now - I get a VBScript: Remote Desktop Disconnected - The
remote connection has timed out. Please try connecting to the remote
computer again.

What am I missing - is there more I need to add to the default.htm file? In
the server box, do I need to type in the servername:1080?

Thanks

It looks to me like you changed the IIS port to 1080 *AND* the RDP port to
1080. That will not work. They need to be separate and distinct. The default
IIS port is TCP Port 80 and the default RDP port is TCP Port 3389. So change
the IIS port to something other than 1080 or the RDP port to something other
than 1080 (both in the registry and the Default.htm file). Make sure both
ports are forwarded/opened on any firewall between the PC and the public
internet.

If you change that setting in the Default.htm file (which only pertains to
RDP) then you also need to change the default RDP listening port in the
registry on the PC you want to connect to. See this KB article for help with
that. Reboot the PC after making the change...

Hi - No, I can still use use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the
computer without specifing a different port - so it's still the default of
3389.

Yes, I did change the IIS port to 1080..

Do I still need to change the registry port to make the web-access work?

Thanks for your quick reply...
