Remote Desktop Active X control

[Guest]

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

I have sucessfully setup my windows xp as a web server so that I can use remote desktop web connection. I currently have comcast 3mbps cable on 1 xp pro pc and and sbc 3mbps dsl on the pc setup as the web server. When I first tried to connect on from the xp pc on the cable connection to test it, it got the prompt for the active x control, I accepted it, and was able to connect. When I try connecting from my job which is on a gigabit network and when I browse to http://computername/tsweb (by the way it works without putting in /tsweb), it says opening page in the status bar but I do not get prompted to install any active x controls and it just sits at a blank white page. I know that the pc I'm connecting from does not have the active x control installed. It is obviously hitting my pc/webserver. How do I get it to prompt to accept the active x control when connecting from a pc that does not already have it installed?

I have also tried setting my security settings to allow all active x controls as well as browsing directly to http://computername/tsweb/default.htm and still get nothing. No prompt for active x control, and no web page. My work also uses a proxy server, in which I am not behind it and have turned off my proxy settings which opens my pc up to all internet activity and still nothing.

Your office may have activex controls disabled or filtered... You
would also need to be an adminstrator to install this control...

The proxy may be filtering out the ActiveX control for security
reasons... If this is the case, you would be better off using the
regular remote desktop client (mstsc.exe) in lieu of the web
interface.
