I am using the TS Web Access feature provided by windows server 2008 to publish programs so that they can be accessed over internet using RDC client. I am able to access the programs from the intranet domain . However, when i try from outside the college network, i am only able to see the published programs but not connect to them as i get an error saying "Remote computer cannot be connected. The certificate subject name and the gateway address requested do not match." . pls note that i have created a self -signed certificate and installed on server myself. Also, i am using the direct IPAddress of the server as the gateway address.

Since i am able to access programs from with domain , i suspect it to be a simple setting with gateway or certificate. Please let me know if any further info is required on this..any help is appreciated..

Sorry for responding so late. The link provided above was very useful. Once i got a DNS entry pointing to my Server IP, i used that address to create a new certificate using active directory certificate services role provided by win server 2008. I then saved this certificate in trusted root certification authorities on the client machine. Then everything just worked fine. – varun Jul 15 '10 at 2:19
