 Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 4:24 am Post subject: remote desktop (complex setup) |
 |
|
Ok, here's my scenerio. I am studying for my MCDST and came across remote
desktop configuration and decided to play around with my own network using
port forwarding on my router. I sucessfully forwarded all incoming
connections to port 3389 to my server (running Exchange Server 2003) and was
able to connect sucessfully from inside and outside my local network. But
here is what I want to do. I want to ALSO set up a connection to my desktop
computer running XP Pro. Because I can only forward port 3389 to one
computer, I was wondering how I can configure another connection to forward
to the other computer. I researched microsoft's knowledge base and found out
I can use the 255.255.255.255:1234 (IP being the IP of the network and the
port being the configured port) to connect remotely using a different port,
so I configured my router to forward 3390 to my desktop, enabled remote
desktop on the my desktop, opened the port on my firewall, and tested it. It
didn't work. I am able to remote to the desktop from INSIDE the network, but
not from outside. What can I do? |

Which kb are you referencing? I don't bother with setting up a second |
forwarder. When I login to the first box I can create as many rdp
connections to my internal network as I like.

I saw it at: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304304 I have been able to
remote into my server and then remote into the desktop from the server
(basically a piggy-back remote connection, if you will) if that's what
you're talking about) but it interests me to find out if there is another
way to do it, but upon searching for that KB article, I came across another
article referencing how to change the port that remote desktop listens on
through registry editor, so I'm gonna give that a shot. I'll let you know if
it works. |

Run Regedit, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp. Change the "PortNumber" subkey from 3389
(00000D3D hex) To whatever you want your RDP to listen on. Sometimes you
have to reboot, sometimes not.

You missed one step. You need to configure RDP on the XP box to use the
revised port#. |

I changed the port in regedit. No success. I'm going to revert all changes |
to the router, server, and desktop, and then just set up one connection just
to the desktop and see if that works. I know I can connect from the inside
of the network, but maybe there is something else going on that I'm not
seeing as far as being able to connect from the outside, customized
connection or not. Anyhow, I've got a cable modem hooked into a router. Will
update later. |

True. By default, RDP on the XP box only listen to port 3389. What you can
do is to modify the RDP file. You can create an RDP connection file using a
text editor. The simplest way to do it initially, though, is to run the
mstsc client, configure basic settings you want, then choose "Save As..." on
the General tab. You can then open the resulting file in Notepad and work
with it. From there, you can change the server port to suite your need.
Neat huh ? |

I have a setup like this at home. You have to tell the router to redirect
port 3390 to port 3389 on your desktop.

Yeah - I've done 5 RDP Sessions - one inside another before.
I had an issue with some routers an data flow so we were unable to push past
3 routers form out side the network, but I was able to push inside from one
hop to another one at a time. So to get to the problem router I had to RDP
into each subnet from inside the last RDP. After which I was able to hit the
routers remote console.
Terminal Services is a lot of fun. :-)

Unless I mis-understand you, you would still need to modify the

I don't have the exact key handy, but you'll have to edit the registry to
get RDP to listen to a different port. IIRC it's 2 keys' values you'll have
to change. Or, alternatively, and this is what I frequently do, is set up a
RD to one machine, then on that machine, set up more RD's to other machines.
This way, when I'm outside my network, I can remote into my network, then
hop nimbly-bimbly from machine to machine via other RD's.
HTH. |
