Thanks for putting the actual location of the installation. They are buried several layers deep inside windows components.

This worked like a charm! I read other posts that missed the part about NOT putting a server name in the login screen and had lots of trouble connecting. Leaving it blank….worked!!! Thanks Linglom!

Hi, Ali
Have you try at your home to connect from the laptop to the desktop?

If you want to connect to your home desktop through the Internet, you need to have an static IP address for the home desktop. Or you can use dynamic DNS service such as http://www.no-ip.com/.

I have done the steps over and over and they don’t work for remote desktop web connection. My home desktop is actually the host and I have my laptop at work as the client. I can’t seem to get the laptop to connect and have tried all the seemingly simple steps. The wizard never asks for the Windows XP professional disc, and says it is installed, but I can’t connect, and when I search my computer for “Remote Desktop Web Connection” it is not there. I have been trying to set this up for the past week every day, getting nowhere.

You can redirect the port in IIS so that it isnt using 3389. Then in your browser type the same URL: whatever port you used. I.e. http://computername/tsweb:5000

great tip !
the only thing is that i noticed is when you use remote TSE from WAN: the fisrt connexion is done with HTTP but after the connexion is done with TCP 3389.( not really helpfull when the firewall block TSE port).
