Prob w/WEBINTERFACE Please help

[Mike]

I have Win xp pro at home with a netgear router.
IIS configured to listen on port 91
RD configured to answer on 3389 (default port)
Router set to forward 3389 to local machine running RD as
well as port 91 for IIS.

I can connect to the machine running RD from any of the
other machines that are on the lan.

I can connect to the machine running RD from a remote
machine (off the lan) using the built in interface thats
included with XP Pro with no problem

The web interface connects to the default.htm and asks me
for the server name. I then type in the local computer
name that i'm connecting to "XXXX" it tries to connect
and then i recieve a message stating ' The specified
remote computer could not be found. Verify that you have
typed the correct computer name or ipaddress"

The remote connect(pc with xp pro that i'm using as the
requesting machine) is outside of my companys firewall so
there are no limitations on this connection.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
mike

HI Mike

You have to forward port 91 and 3389 to the IP of your computer and call
using the WAN IP

luckyone,, before i ask another questions thanks for your
help.

currently my setup is the same at home.
router port 91 forwarded to local machine running IIS and
RD. Port 3389 forwarded to same machine

browser i enter http://wanaddress:91/tsweb/ and receive
the login screen but when i attempt to connect by
pressing the connect button i get ' the client could not
connect to the remote computer, client maybe busy etc.
when i enter the machine name the message is ' The
specified
remote computer could not be found. Verify that you have
typed the correct computer name or ipaddress"

thanks for your help

i'm on a private network ( work network) trying to
connect to my pc at home.

 

[Lucky One]

do you have a firewall running at home if so you will have to open the ports
in the firewall

all ports required are open and directed to the correct
pc. I can connect via a remote computer not behind our
firewall with no problem. but when i try and connect from
a desktop on my company lan. Http;//wanaddress:91/tsweb.
i get the login screen but after attempting to login it
bombs out.

Can you RDP using remote desktop connection to it from you Lan at work
wanaddress:3389
