Default Re: Cannot Remote Desktop Anymore

Well if your trying to use the web based Remote Desktop method you need both
TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP) open on your home firewall. Also
be aware your personal home ISP may block TCP Port 80 because running a web
server violates the terms of service you agreed to when you signed up with
them.

Why even use the web based method if the normal RD method was working for
you?
