IE 6 & Microsoft Small Business Server 2003

[Guest]

I'm trying to log into our server from my home computer using the Remote
Desktop.

I keep getting this error message:
This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote
Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing
you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust there settings, and try to
connect again.

Well I have changed all the ActiveX settings to Prompt then also tried
Enable. No luck. The dialog box never poped up to acept the ActiveX
program.

I'm using Windows ME with all the updates
IE Explorer 6.0.2800.1106

I found other people with the same problem but none of them knew how to fix
it. Any ideas would be great.

That's good. It probably means that the message you are getting is bogus,
so therefore you should try interpreting it much more loosely as meaning
not much more than the other side saying "We think something's wrong".

E.g. wouldn't you be expecting to have to enter a userid and password
first? If you weren't seeing that and just hitting enter the message would
just be the other side figuratively scratching its head and wondering why
you weren't trying to log on. Etc.
