greetings...I have a linksys cable router that has the TCP 3389 forwarded to
my pc.... My router address is 12.x.x.x.

I can use another computer on my lan (using iexplorer) to:
http://12.x.x.x.x:80/tsweb and it WILL connect to my remotedesktop pc.

However, when I leave my house and go to my office or a friend tries from
his home (cablemodem, no firewall--office has no firewall--ya funny) and you
do the http://12.x.x.x.x:80/tsweb it will ONLY ask you to install the Active
X deal, and when put type in the remote computer's name--it errors
out...says it can't find the computer. AND (I can't use the remote desktop
client itself thru the router--even when I totally turn off all port filters
of any kind and I still have the tcp 3389 forward to my computer.

So, after many hours of screwing around, I am giving up...hoping that one of
you guys out there can help!

Please help....

thanks, Kerry
 
If you get the IIS page served to you (i.e., you get the server
control and prompt), port 80 is served...

The problem described is a known bug with the web client.
