Remote Desktop

Hello,

I try to make remote desktop for windows 2008 thru modem Linksys WRT160n
I did :
1- I opened single port forwarding 3389 in the mode
2- I enabled remote desktop in the windows server 2008
Do I miss some thing?
Thanks

forward port 3389 as TCP to the right internal IP address (static)
if there is any firewall software on the server you need to open up port 3389 in that aswell

1. Did you set a Forward rule to send the requests to your internal.server.ip over port 3389.
  eg: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT160N/Remote_Desktop.htm

2.  Enable remote desktop
  eg: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794832(WS.10).aspx

3. Do you have the firewall enabled to allow Remote Desktop enabled on the host?

If i had to guess the security context is still set to high.

Make sure RDC is enabled and you have an account with permissions to connect with it.

1,2,3 I did
From your client pc attempt the following.

1. Open CMD
2. Type "telnet your.ip.addr 3389"

Black screen Firewall openned.

Connection failed, your port forwarding or firewall is dening it.

Not all routers will support port forwarding from within the network to within the network

You may have to test this from another network, or give us the IP and we'll see if we get an RDP connect screen.
if you don't want your IP posted here you can email it to me and I'll try it rimtech@gmail.com

From a client pc Windows 7, I got
'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
lol, Telnet Client is not installed by default on Windows 7.

Install Telnet Client on Windows 7 or Windows Vista


On Windows 7, Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Features tool to install optional components.

To install Telnet Client on Windows 7 or Windows Vista

1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2.On the Control Panel Home page, click Programs.

3.In the Programs and Features section, click Turn Windows features on or off.

4. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
5. In the Windows Features list, select Telnet Client, and then click OK.


Also, can you respond to the following:

1. where is this PC located?
2. Where is the client located?


Thanks,

Note:I tested it from same network and from home
Great, so if you are getting connection failed from an internal source and and home Source, the issue is with your server setup.

Are you sure you have disabled ALL windows firewall profiles (domain,private and public) temporarily.

If you attempt to RDP to the server ifself from itself, You should get a login prompt but give an error that you cannot login to a logged in server.

As well, you Remote desktop settings, Are they enabled for allow all clients or only secure with NLA.

Let us know,

you used the wrong telnet syntax
it's not colon port, it's space port

e.g.
you need to use
telnet hostname port
not
telnet hostname:port
which is why it said it connected on port 23...

I didn't have try to RDP from the server itself, I try to RDP from other computers (mine and my friend outside)
Try it from itself. I want to see if you actually set it up correctly.

Thanks, Hades666

Good idea.
Yes, I have tried now  from other compuer by local IP and it works fine
So RDP from a PC on the same network by local.ip.addr works.

If that is the case, your Port forwarding is the issue at the moment.

I guessed it,  I have tested the server and router at my home are work.
So I think, it's building network security
Thanks guys for help
