How do I set up remote desktop protocol forwarding on Cisco RV042 router?
I have a Cisco RV042 VPN router. I need to set up remote desktop port forwarding which is port 3389 to one particular static IP on the local network. I have set up what I think should work but it is not working. It used to work set up basically the same way with a Linksys router.
Can you give me guidance to set up this port forwarding so remote desktop will work?
Thanks,
John

Hi Akahan,
I did what you advised and it was as you described. I actually had done some of the work to set it up but still what I did previously didn't work. Turns out the last octet was not the right number for the computer to which I want to port to be forwarded to. I likely would not have seen that without your guidance. So, thanks for your help with the how to do it on this router. 500 points coming your way, and well deserved.

Start a new thread, please.
Have you tried setting it to Gateway to Gateway?
If you have, then you shouldn't need to port forward to get RDP to work. That would only be the case if you were traversing a firewall, which would not be the case using VPN.
Also, are you receiving an error when you try to connect to the RDP session?
Or just a blank screen?
(If it's just a blank screen, you can go into options for the Remote Desktop Connection, and then Experience. Try disabling or enabling Bitmap caching or disable ALL.)
