For Remote Desktop Web Connection [RDWC] you need both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and
TCP Port 3389 (Remote Desktop) forwarded through any router and/or firewall
the Remote Desktop [RDC] host/server PC is behind. Note that many ISPs
(including my own, Cox HSI) block TCP Port 80 incoming on residential
accounts. You can test this by going to the
http://www.canyouseeme.org site
while on the host PC and test for both 80 and 3389. Also check with your ISP
about 80. If the ports are open and the test passes call from a remote
location using the public IP of your router.
Any reason you just don't use the regular (non-web based) RDC connection?
