WinXP SP3 client can't connect on Terminal Server 2008 using TS Gateway

[Panayiotis]

Hi,

I am using a WinXP SP3 to connect on a Win2K8 terminal server through a TS
Gateway but i keep getting the message "The computer can't connect to the
remote computer because the Terminal Services Gateway Server address is
unreachable or incorrect.Type a valid server address".
The server running the TS Gateway role is also running the TS Web Access
role. The same thing happens when i try to connect to a remote application
using Web Access. Although I am able to connect to the remote applications
webpage, as soon as I double click on a remote application I end up with the
same message. The same WinXP client is able to connect to the terminal
server directlly without using the TS Gateway.
On the other hand everything works fine if I connect over a Windows Vista
client. Both RDC and Web Access work just fine while using the TS Gateway.
My network topology is flat - no firewalls or routing devices between the
servers and the clients.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Regards

You need RDP 6.1 as client for XP SP3....What client are you using?

Thanks,

Re: WinXP SP3 client can't connect on Terminal Server 2008 using TS Gateway

As I mentioned the XP client that I am using for the remote desktop
connection has SP3 installed which includes RDP 6.1. Anyway I' ve tried to
download and install the latest remote desktop connection client but i get
the message that the service pasc install is newer than the update I am
trying to install. Therefore it is not a matter of the cllient.

Thanks
