Remote desktop connection.Loggin on problem.

[Kinetek]

Hi.

I have installed Cognos 8.3 planning on 2003 server sp1 virtual machine.When i login locally(e.g. analyst) everything is perfect,but when i try to login using remote desktop connection i get this error -

*There was a problem logging on.Please ensure you can access Cognos Connection using the Gateway URI specified in cognos configuration*

At the same moment i get Server Internal Error 500 while trying to connect to http://localhost/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi  ???

Check out your VMWare network configuration (binded, nas) and try to set up dispatcher using server ip, not by localhost.

i've changed dispatchers IP at the following boxes - Internal Dispatcher URI,External Dispatcher URI,Dispatcher URI for external applications , this doesn't help.

What am i supposed to change at vmware's network configuration?

However,i can connect remotely using mstsc /console and it works pretty fine.

Sorry, but I must be misunderstanding you.
First I've meant changing gateway url. that you've published in first post.

And can you explain a bit more on what's the difference between:

and

Remote Desktop Connection is not mstsc? You mean that when you connect by rdc it doesn't work, and by mstsc -- it does?

well i dont perfectly know what is mstsc /console but when i type it in start menu-run, connection window appears and cognos works fine.

but when i connect using remote desktop connection from my start menu-communications cognos doesn't work.

as to the gateway URL.I don't quite get it what am i supposed to change? i've tried many ways (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or server IP) some combination of that let me open windows with crendentials but after entering them i receive fatal error.

Also i can connect to cognos connection either entering 127.0.0.1/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi and 192.168.0.3/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi entering localhost using remote connection results in server error 500.
