Terminal Services Advanced Client Problems with Router

[noblethrasher]

In the wake of the Code Red worm and the like, Cox@home started blocking port 80 request to hosts on their network. So I changed the IIS WWW server to port 8081 and forwarded that port on my NAT router (Linksys BEFW11S4) to the appropriate host. Web pages pull up just fine.

Now Terminal Server Advanced Client stopped working from the Internet (I can connect just fine on the LAN). I get the Terminal Services Web Connection screen that ask for the server, but then I get the VBscript “Error connecting to terminal server: servername” after I enter the server name, either as an IP Address or Machine Name. Port 3389 is forwarded and the Win32 client works just fine, only the ActiveX client has problems. Hopefully someone will have an idea.

Thanks...
