Remote Desktop Web Connection
I am struggling getting remote desktop web connection to work on my XP SP2 desktop computer from work. Can someone please point me to some links on this subject using SP2?
Thanks in advance...

James, why not use services like WebExPc.com?
Is it absolutely critical that you make your XP work remotely?

Was it working before and then stopped after SP2? If so, you need to configure the windows firewall to allow remote desktop. Go to you network connection / properties / advanced / firewall settings / exceptions, add remote desktop if it isn't there then check it. I believe you also need to have windows messenger set.

Thanks for the tips. I have open the port and am still not getting through. I was thinking it is probably because my internet provider is blocking port 80, which IIS is set to by default. Does anyone happen to know a port that Charter Communications does not block?
Thanks again...
