I cleared my m0n0wall firewall log and tried again... these are the results 16:54:05.782292 WAN <snip>, port 58928 192.168.1.108, port 3390 TCP 16:54:06.037040 WAN <snip>, port 58949 192.168.1.108, port 3390 TCP both of these were accepted by m0n0wall. there are no rejections. Someone else had this to say, which seemed to make sense.. **** One thing to point out--the Remote Desktop Web Connection is simply an ActiveX control-based RDP client that runs within Internet Explorer on the client-side. The user is still making a direct RDP connection (port 3389) to whatever machine you try to connect to. In other words, if the user is on the WAN, then they'll need to type in a public IP (they won't be able to use 192.168.1.110 unless they're trying to connect to a box on their own LAN), and your firewall rules (and NAT settings) must allow WAN users to establish TCP-3389 connections to the target box. The Remote Desktop Web Connection is simply an alternative client (rather than using the regular RDP client, 98, ME and 2000 don't come with one by default)--it's not a proxy. - Shaun **** Regards, Adam Ophoff Chris Buechler wrote: > On 4/6/06, Adam Ophoff <adam underscore mailinglist at adamophoff dot net> wrote: > >> I'm trying to connect to a windows XP box running IIS with Remote >> Desktop Web Connection on it.
