Configure the router to forward rdp packets on port 3389 to the servers ip address

This might be implied but you want to make sure in the ROUTER when you set up your port forwarding that you NAT the WAN traffic coming from the Internet to the local LAN IP address of the server. This way all inbound traffic coming from the WAN on that port is forwarded to the server IP address.

Ok I made a mistake in specifying as a router but its actually modem + Adsl2 router.
I went into the configuration page, click on NAT- virtual server and created a rule with local ip address which is 192.168.1.18 and port number 3389.
And also firewall is also disable in router configuration.
Enabled RPD on server, Activated Allow incoming connections (Private and Public) in firewall settings.
Added Remote desktop user who are AD users.
In registry port 3389 was there with value 0x00003d.
I dont what 3d stands for.
Local Domain users can connect take the remote desktop.
Do i need to do anything else.
I like to explain from the start how the connection is.
==========================
Server (supermicro) Xenon processor. with two Ethernet ports.
From the Modem (+router) one connection goes to Switch (24 port)--- from here connection goes to Server , clients and another wireless router (using ip address 10.x.x.x).
From this wireless router more 4 pcs and two laptops are connected.
I had an issue where clients where able to connect to domain but not access the Internet, so i used up the another Ethernet port on the server and connected to the same switch.
First Ethernet adapter(network Connection) has Static Ip address 192.168.1.100 and second Network connection on server has dynamic ip address. Now the Clients can connect to internet.
==========================
Then I try to take the RDP of server there is the issue.
Any help.

Can someone help me resolve the issue.
Sorry for the delay in response. If your local network users are able to access the RDP connection then the problem is within your ADSL router configuration. If you have the firewall turned off within the router then the Asdl Router should be forwarding all packets.
I am little confused....you say the NAT in the router is set to 192.168.1.18 but the first ethernet adapter on the server is set to 192.168.1.100. On the server if you go to a command prompt and run: c:>ipconfig /all what is the server IP address?
WHen you access the RDP connection locally within your network are you using the server name or the IP address in the RDP connection?
It sounds like your inbound NAT rule in the router may be set for the wrong IP internal address.

Patmac951 First thank you for reply.
There are two routers in the network (look at the image), one router (firewall turned Off) with ip address 192.168.1.1/24 with wan connected to it. and another router(10.x.x.x) is connected to switch which is inturn connected to first router.
The second router is not connected to server.
Sever machine has two network adapters with ip address 192.168.1.18 (dynamic) and 192.168.1.100 (static).

I dont why i was able to take the remote desktop only after changing the port number in registry and router from default 3389.
But still unable to access using wan ip address with pc in lan.
ie for example 192.168.x.x trying to RDP 122.x.x.x: 5555
error unable to connect.
from wan 183.125.x.x i am able to connect to 122.x.x.x.:5555
any suggestion would be appreciated
