Remote Web connection W2000 server - W98 client

[jwr49009]

I am trying to connect with the remote desktop web connection with a Win98 dial up to a Win2000 server.
I can do this fine with an XP or Win2000 client. I think the problem is the 3389 port is not opened in Win98. How do I open the RDP port of 3389 and connect ?

I'm on a 98 box at home and I use the rdp client all the time. So you connect to the internet over dial up, and then try to connect to the server right? What error message do you get? Is it possible you're connecting to a 2000 server with no terminal services cals available for your 98 desktop? 2000/xp pro will connect with no ts cals required, but all other operating systems (such as 98) do require ts cals.

What do you mean by ( cals ) ?
thanks

Terminal services cals... Licenses... Is the terminal server in application or remote admin mode?

This is probably a helpful read for you too... Let me know what mode the server is in, and what happens when you connect...
