Hi, I am trying to use RDT via a web connection. I have installed "tsweb" on
the computer I want to connect to and enabled RDT.

I'm connected to the internet via a router but I'm I right in thinking this
will not affect a web RDT session.

When I try to connect using IE7 with the Address
"http://86.144.43.XX/tsweb/" all I get is a blank screen.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong.

Thanks.

If your behind a router you need both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389
(Remote Desktop) forwarded to the PC you want to remotely access and
control. Keep in mind that some ISPs, including mine, block incoming traffic
to TCP Port 80 since running a web server (IIS) violates the terms of
service for a residential account.
