Hi Eric,

Make sure you've opened up 3389 on the linksys and any other router between
the client and server. If that doesn't do it check with Linksys - maybe
there is a problem fixed in a firmware update.

Thanks,

Remote Desktop and Linksys router

Posted: 08-29-2003, 10:08 AM

You have to forward port 3389 to the ip address on the
machine you are trying to access. For example:
If your network address is 192.168.0.101 then you have to
forware port 3389 to 192.168.0.101.
Your documentation or a trip to the Linksys website
should tell you how to do that.
