Remote Desktop Connection

I have the same problem where I can't connect through my
LinkSys firewall (TCP port 3389 is opened and is being
routed to my XP Pro machine which has a static IP).

The dropdown list on my RDC contains IP addresses for
machines that no longer exist. How do I clear it?

I have a home LAN that has four computers (running XP
Pro) on it. I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection
to connect to the other computers. I'm getting an error
that the WORKGROUP does not contain any terminal servers.
I've checked that Remote Desktop is turned on.

Can someone help?

I get the same error, but if you type the servers name in
the box, it connects fine.

Normally you can not browse for other computers in the Remote Desktop connection browser *IF* your
in a work group environment. Call using the local LAN IP or NetBIOS name of the PC you want to
connect to... With that said, if you really want to browse, then look at this KB article for
help...Note you need to reboot each PC after you make the registry change.

I am trying to connect to my work computer from home
using Remote Desktop Connection. I have entered my IP
address and I end up connecting to my server workstation
and not my one workstation at my desk? I hope you can
understand that.

How can I get connected to my computer at my desk not the
server workstation?

Regards.

OK - You've got a network at work consisting of (at least!) one XP Pro
machine and a server running Windows 2000 or newer, and a router.

The router is set to route unsolicited inbound traffic on port 3389, TCP to
the server. You have admin permissions on that server, or, perhaps, the
server is running Terminal Services in Application server mode.

If you want to see the desktop of your XP machine, you can either run MSTSC
from within the TS session you establish with the server (this works fine--I
often do it)

Or, establish a VPN connection through the router to the server. Properly
configured, a VPN session will allow you to run Remote Desktop and connect
to your XP machine.

I have a similar senerio.
I tried changing the listening port of TS on an XP box
from 3389 to 3390 and directing traffic through the
firewall on port 3390 to the IP of the XP box. This has
not worked for me. I spoke to someone else and they
indicated port translation would be a better method.
Is there a way to do port translation on a 2000 server to
redirect and convert to 3389 from 3390?
