Try using VMRC+ as the admin gateway instead. Then you do not need the
IIS complications at all.

What's error are you seeing? I find that I have to use my domain\userid when
I log in on my machine. The other common issue is that IIS might not be
installed.

VMRC Plus is a great work around as well

IIS is installed on my home machine, I am not in a domain.

On VMRC, I enter vmrc://computerFullName:1024/virtual machine on the
"connect to server" dialog. But i get "no connection".

please help.

our connect string should be: vmrc://computerfullname:5900/VMName

(Providing you didn't change the default ports and enabled the VMRC
server.)

We did *not* advice you to use VMRC, we talked about VMRCplus, which
is a completely different program. You need to download and install it
to your PC first.

VMRC is just a tool to connect to a running virtual machine, whereas
VMRCplus is a tool that can replace the VS website for administration
of virtual machines as well as allowing connection to the guests.

This is where you can download VMRCplus:
http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=80ADC08C-BFC6-4C3A-B4F1

(Google VMRCplus and the first hit is this page...)

Once you have it running (needs DotNetFramework to run) you just enter
the hostname of the PC running Virtual Server and click Connect.
