Hi,<br />
<br />
what error are you getting? Can you ping 10.0.0.15?<br />
<br />

No errors, it just won't connect and then times out with the error message. But I know that it's the firewall. <br />
<br />
Yes, I can definitely ping the server. <br />
<br />
As soon as I remove the IP address from the &nbsp;'Remote IP' section within the Scope, I can log on locally.

peeps, <br />
<br />
I'm trying to restrict RDP access so that only people on the WAN and LAN can access the terminal services box, along with the possibility of a few external IP addresses. We're on Windows 2008. In Windows Firewall, I've gone into 'Inbound Rule' and chosen RDP-&gt;Properties-&gt;Scope. <br />
<br />
Within the scope, I've added the internal range which is 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254. <br />
<br />
Then I've added the external IP. Apply, OK. <br />
<br />
If I try to log onto remote desktop using the local IP 10.0.0.15 (that's the IP), it won't connect me. If I enter the external IP, then it does. <br />
<br />
Does anybody know why this happens? And how this can be fixed?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot<br />

Restricting RDP with Windows Firewall....but it doesn't work?!

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
