Cannot get RRW to work outside of the Host SBS server. Possible port 4125 issue?

We use SBS R2 SP2 and have issues connecting to Servers or Clients via RWW from outside the SBS server. We can connect from the server itself with no problems. There are no firewalls blocking ports 3389 or 4125 on any server or client on our internal LAN. The edge firewall is confirmed to have these ports open. Netstat -aon confirms port 3389 is listening and returns a PID, but we cannot see any evident that port 4125 is active, even after logon/authentication. Microsoft believes these ports are being blocked and offers no solution to the lack of visibility to port 4125 activity.  We have loaded the latest Broadcom drivers, disabled RSS and offloading, ensured RPC, WMI, Network Connections, Terminal Services, Telephony, Remote Access Connect Mgr/auto connection mgr and RRAS services are running.

I guess I should have asked if workstations were joined using http://<servername>/connectcomputer.  But generally, you wouldn't be able to connect internally either if it wasn't used because the default settings on the XP SP2 firewall would prevent it.

I am curious about something though... how many other servers are there on your network?

ssl must be forwared to the server hosting rrw.
Since both RobWill and mdhwoods have commented on needing ssl forwarded (ne: port 443) you wouldn't be able to connect to the RWW main menu at all if that wasn't in place.  So, it would be obvious to me that 443 is already forwarded.

As mentioned; "I assume it is if you can access the server. "
he mentioned he was connecting from within the network. this would bypass the router alltogether. unless i miss read and he cannot connect to rww from a client within the network.  i made the assumption that he could connect internally but not from an external computer.
I saw the question as "issues connecting to Servers or Clients via RWW"  not "connecting to RWW's menu".  But we'll just wait and see.
