Remote Web workplace Error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

That is a difficult error to diagnose.. Perhaps there were network
issues at the time you were connecting? Or if people were actively
using these machines, perhaps an application was hanging the remote
desktop session...

I had the same issue. I found that it does not work, and this is as designed. Most firewall s (software, or hardware based such as a router) will not allow the traffic as they are designed to disallow external traffic internally. As in, it will not allow you to connect to remote desktop via RWW, but you can connect via MSTSC much the same way that you cannot connect internally to VPN on the network that you are VPNing to. Hope this helps as I looked forever for the answer as well.
Thanks!
