Hi,

Thanks for posting here! I am sorry for the delayed response due to
weekend. Please understand that the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by
Microsoft Support professionals to answer your systems and applications
questions. Our goal is to provide 24 hour response to all questions. Your
understanding is greatly appreciated!

Regarding to your post, I understand that you got error of " VBScript:
Remote Desktop Disconnected??. ", when RDP to the SBS 2003 network
computers from internet. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me
know.

Have you installed router outside the SBS 2003 network? If yes, please
double check to make sure the incoming TCP port 4125 is opened on your
router or hardware firewall.

And also I suggest you view the following KB article carefully to check if
your scenario resolution is correct:

828053 ISA Server prevents connection to a remote desktop when you connect
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=828053

If it does not work, based on my experience this issue can occur if you are
using a Windows XP SP2 computer to connect from. Windows XP SP2 has a
pop-up stopper which will block the Web RDP session.

In Internet Explorer on the workstation you are connecting from, go to
Tools, Internet Options, then click on the Privacy tab, remove the check
for Block pop-ups. Close and reopen IE and check if you can connect now. If
you have third party pop-up stopper software installed, please also disable
it.

If the problem persists, I would suggest you to disable the firewall and
third-party antivirus system and then, use the following steps to reset IE
settings on the workstation and try again.

1. Open Internet Explorer. Click Tools -> Internet Options
2. In the General tab, please click the Settings button
3. Please click the View Files button and then, delete all files in this
fold and close it.
4. Please click the View Objects button and then, delete all files in this
fold and close it.
5. Click OK
6. Please select Security tab in the Internet Options dialog box. Click the
Default button and click Apply
7. Please select Programs tab in the Internet Options dialog box. Click the
Reset Web Settings button and click Yes.
8. Please select Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box. Click the
Restore Defaults button and click the Apply button.
9. Please uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires
restart)" check box under the Browsing item in the Advanced tab.
10. Restart your computer as required.

Try to test, how about the result?

If the issue persists, please try to add the internal IP address to HOSTS
file in the server box (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ETC\HOSTS), such as:

127.0.0.1 localhost
XX.XX.XX.XX(IP address) servername

Try to test again, how about the result?

If the issue persists, please help me collect some information to isolate
the issue:

1. Please try to setup RDP connection from internet using https://IP(public
IP address)/remote, how about the result?
2. Please test the issue using another computer from another internet
location, how about the result?
3. Please try to run command "telnet IP:4125" (no quota marks) in command
prompt and paste the result in the newsgroup.
4. Please kindly help me collect these information and ISAinfo. And send to
v-yanniw(a)microsoft.com

Please follow this steps to gather ISA Web Proxy and Firewall service logs
when reproducing the problem:
Enable the full Web Proxy/firewall logging option:
a. Open ISA management console.
b. Expand the server node and highlight ''Monitoring''.
c. In the right pane, switch to the ''Logging'' tab, make sure the ''Task
Pane'' is showed there.
d. In the ''Task Pane'', click ''Configure Web Proxy Logging'' under
''Logging Tasks'', and then switch the ''log storage format'' from ''MSDE
database'' (default) to ''File''.
e. Switch to the ''Fields'' tab, and then click ''Select All''.
f. Click OK, and then click ''Apply'' to save changes and update the
configuration.
g. Click ''Configure Firewall Logging''. Do step d~f to enable the full
logging options for firewall logging.

Prepare to take the trace:
a. Temporarily stop the Firewall service to clear the current existing W3C
logs: Monitoring->Services tab, and then right click ''Microsoft Firewall''
to choose ''Stop''.
b. Go to the log saving directory and clean any existing .W3C logs. By
default, the logs will be saved to ''C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA
Server\ISALogs''. (Some MDF may not be able to deleted, that''s normal.)
c. Go back to the ISA management console, and then Start the stopped
''Microsoft Firewall'' service.

Reproduce the problem:
a. Go to the external client computer. Go to access the RWW web site and
connect to some computer in your SBS network.
b. Go back to the ISA server. Stop the ''Microsoft Firewall'' service. Open
Windows Explorer, navigate to the ISA log file folder. Collect the recent
w3c files. Save them to a zip package as ''isalogs.zip''. Start the
''Microsoft Firewall'' Service.
c. Send the zip packages to me.
