I've tried connecting with laptops that are on the local lan and had
the same problem. XPhome no domain, XP office on and off of the
domain/logged in as Administrator and the website as part of the
trusted group in IE.
I have tried it at other SBS2003 servers and the activeX downloads
with a MessageBox confirmation.
Thanks for your help

I don't know what that means - this is SBS Premium using the
included ISA, right?
active.
It seems to be happening on too many different types of remote
computers for it NOT to be something with the
server/router/firewall at the server site.

I added the url to the trusted sites and it still doesn't work.
I actually attached the laptop to the local network, then tried
it. The ActiveX component downloaded.
I realize that being local is different, but I am thinking that
I might need to open an different port on the router for the
Server to send the ActiveX component out to the connecting
computers.
Are you using ISA? I don't think this would be the problem - the
message you're getting is a client-side thing and indicates that
the security setting for the zone the site is in doesn't allow
for the activeX control to
be downloaded. The server's trying to let them do it.

It works fine from my own laptop... XP Pro - SR2
It doesn't work for XP Home - SR2, although RDC does work
directly to the server.
Try adding the RWW address to the trusted sites zone....does
that work?
I've tried it on a Windows 98 computer, but only mine seems to
work.
Win98 should work fine as it doesn't have the security features
of XP SP2.
We need the users to be able to use this feature for any
Web-Cafe.
This is a client-side thing, and you can't control what's on a
locked down client computer elsewhere.
Be *extremely* careful about letting users access your network
*at all* from
untrusted/public computers. I don't recommend it. You have no
idea what's on
those computers - keyloggers, etc.
Please Help.
