693280 2008-07-29 05:43:00 Hi all, does anyone have the RDP remote desktop protocol running successfully over the D-Link routers given out by Telecom....?

Did you have to manually add the port and app and enable?...

I ask because I have remote using wishing to use their broadband to connect to work servers, and most other routers work but the Telecom D-Links

693281 2008-07-29 06:59:00 Are they connecting to a VPN first?
Not very secure to have the RDP port 3389 open to the internet.
But yes you have to do a port forward or virtual server of port 3389 to the IP of the machine you want to connect to.
If you need to connect to more than one machine then it gets trickier as you can only port forward a certain port to a single machine.

693282 2008-07-29 11:07:00 Hi mate, yeah, VPN tunnel authenticates 1st junipter, the tunnel is successfully created, however the d-link doesnt seem to pass the client or perhaps the port thru?....I thought the port forwarding was only for inbound request, the request is coming from inside the LAN.....the virtual server setting have heaps of apps etc and i enabled several, didnt see 3389 RDP, so guessing i have to manually create the app and port settings!

Linksys, 3com, and various other routers ALL work perfectly without any router setting having to be made.....

Just that its a common protocol, i'll see what happens after I add the port, however i'm not sure the above will work!...

693283 2008-07-29 20:55:00 Whats the Port Map setting?...got port start and stop but map? SolMiester (139)
693284 2008-07-29 21:30:00 The port start / port end, port map and port map end are all the same

So, if youre putting 3389 in port start / end put it in port map start and port map end as well.

You may have to give the PC's a static ip as well, for it to work

If the virtual server has a user option, click on it and put it in here

But to save the trouble, I would use something like Crossloop. You dont have to add anything to a router. But both ends, will have to install it

693286 2008-07-29 23:45:00 I think everyone is forgetting this is a request to a terminal server from inside the LAN.....I cant understand why I have to port forward when that is usually from requests outside the LAN to the routers external address to port forward to the PC on the LAN..??

693287 2008-07-30 01:25:00 Okay, tried adding 3389 port manually, no change, these D-Link's are a POS!!

New router for the user required.
