using RDP with Windows server 2003 R2

I trying to setup my new Windows 2003 server R2 to be accessible from my
home. Remote is turned on the server, I'm using the admin login and receive
can't connect. I'm able to login internally via RDP. port 3389 is forwarded
corrrectly (I think). Any pointers would be helpful. I need to get this
working for my outside developers.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

do you get to the logon screen ? I guess not... You may have port forwarding
issue or routing one.

Hello, no logon screen. I have the port forwarding from TCP port 3391 since
I read somewhere that you can have several RDP ports. I guess port 3391
should be forwarded to my external IP on my remote end? I really need to get
this running. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

the good port is 3389, not 3391.

So you need to get from anywhere in the internet (your home, any hotel ) ?

There are two components to the service, therefore you need both TCP 3389
and UDP 3389 remapped.

Hello,

UDP is not used for TSE. The port isn't even listened on UDP.

According to this it does attempt to stream thru UDP first, and if not
available, it will use a virtual channel thru RDP that uses 3389. It doesn't
specifically say it "switches" to TCP (similar to DNS), but implies it.

So it appears I've been opening two ports for nothing. :-)

This is just for sound, do you listen mp3 through RDP ?

I wouldn't say UDP for RDP is for sound.

I know what you are asking, and no, I would not listen to music thru RDP.
Case in point and an example - I know Real Audio uses UDP to stream since
one of the advantages of UDP is the app controls the stream and is not
guaranteed like TCP, which is guaranteed. Real Audio in the case of a song
will force the song to be played in the time the song was recorded in and
drop lost packets otherwise it would not sound like a song. I used to
illustrate to my students that if we were to listen to a song using only
TCP, it may take twice as long on a busy network and it wouldn't even sound
like a song because TCP is trying to guarantee every byte of data is
deleivered.

And Mathieu, to point out, I was just quoting the article, nothing more.

I know, i was just joking!
