Hi Mike,
thank you for your response.
This is my scenario. I have a windows server 2003 server
sitting behind a SMC broadband router. I want to be able
to connect to the server from home using TS. What
exactly do I need to do in the router configuration page
to allow my connection through the sever?
You mentioned port 3389 to be open for TCP/IP is that
correct?
Also, you said to enter the name or IP address of the
server, does that mean the PRIMARY DNS IP address?
because my server is getting an ip address from my router
(i.e. 192.168.1.x)
Let me see if I have the correct: After setting up
remote desktop on both, the server and the home pc with
th especific user account, forwarding the 3389 port to
TCP/IP and specifying the server's IP addres I open up
the remote desktop connection window at home and the as
an example: 192.168.1.x:3389 (where the IP address is the
PRIMARY DNS IP ADDRESS) and click connect?
I woud really appreciate it if you can confirm my theory
or if you can correct my procedures.
