Guest portlandjoe Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 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
Guest Jeff Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 RE: Error connecting to Tsweb server Terminal uses port 3389, but I'm not exactly sure if this will solve the problem or not.

Guest Rene B Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 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 "portlandjoe" <portlandjoe@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7A2FC1CB-DBA4-4880-B9D0-03D0299ABDAE@microsoft.com... > The terminal server is behind a pix 501 firewall.
