Error connecting to Tsweb server

[Guest portlandjoe]

The terminal server is behind a pix 501 firewall. The port 80 has been

opened and I've connected to the tsweb website. I type in the IP address of

the terminal server, and it gives me this error:

 

The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections

might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new

connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your

connection. Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to

occur, contact your system administrator.

 

If I connect to my cisco VPN client, the connection works, even when I use

my external, not my internal, IP address to access the ts website.

 

Is there another port other than the port used for the website that needs to

be opened on the firewall to allow access? What kind of situation would

cause this?

 

Thanks,

portlandjoe

Terminal uses port 3389, but I'm not exactly sure if this will solve the

problem or not.

Re: Error connecting to Tsweb server

 

That is the way that you should work to access securely your server but if

you want to give access from outside to your server, you can configure it on

Access Rules and Translation Rules on your PIX (if you do that you will open

your server to the world), if you do not have any other authentification and

security on place it is dangerous.

 

 

 

I will suggest you to keep your Cisco VPN client or configure a PPPTP to

access with windows VPN connection in case that you don't want to install

Cisco VPN Client.

 

 

 

I'm not an expert but that is what I know so far and is the way that I have

my network setup with a PIX501

 

 

 

Hope it help you

 

Good luck
