The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Remote Desktop Web Connection through router not working.

Asked by zeeny in Windows Networking

Tags: remote, desktop, router, web, connection

Hi, this is my first question here.  I'll try to err on the side of being thorough.  Good luck, I hope someone can help me!


Remote Desktop Web Connection does not work from non-firewalled WAN locations even though it works perfectly between the 2 computers on my home LAN.  Port scans from GRC.com show my port 80 as open.  I've double checked that I correctly mapped port 80 through the router to my LAN side computer's static IP address.

Using my local web cafe's non-firewalled internet connection, I type "http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/tsweb" in Internet Explorer.   What happens?  ERROR:  "The page cannot be displayed."  (Of course xx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my router's public IP address.)

Just for kicks, I reconfigured my IIS web page properties to listen to an alternate port (I tried 3390) which I also mapped through my router to my target computer.  What happened?  ERROR:  "The page cannot be displayed."

Again I note that Remote Desktop Web Connection works great within my home network, and that regular non-http Remote Desktop client (Start-Programs-Accessories-Communications-Remote Desktop Connection) works great from remote locations after mapping port 3389 through my router.     (Note: I wouldn't even bother with the the Web Connection interface, but many public computers do not have the full Remote Desktop client available because they have older machines or they have a proprietary operating system where the RD program is not accessible. --Think Kinko's.)

The configuration:

cable modem --> buffalo airstation wbr-g54 wireless router with WPA/PSK (TKIP) encryption in place --> recent, clean win xp pro client w/IIS installed and Remote Desktop enabled.

--The router-client cxn is wired ethernet.  I use the wireless for other computer(s) on my home network.)
--No 3d party antivirus or software firewalls installed.  Microsoft ICS firewall disabled.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
