Topic: remote desktop and sme 6.0

[mano2k1]

I've got a win2k3 server behind a sme server/gateway running 6.0. I forwarded the ports in 6.0 to the win2k3 server but I cannot access it using remote desktop from a remote site

[Delirium]

what ports did you open?

got it working with SME 5.6 and WinXP prof on port 3389

Make sure that you have Terminal Services installed on your Windows 2K3 server in "remote admin mode" or if you have purchased TS CAL's then you can use "application mode".

In server-manager on your SME box using the "port Forwarding" panel create a TCP forward for port 3389 to the IP address of your internal Win2K3 server.

I have port 3389 fowarded to the ip of the win2k3 machine. Thats why I am baffled.

.. personally I VPN into the SME box and with SME knowing the hostname of the w2k3 server I just connect

Can you get to the 2k3 server from behind your SME OK?

[mano2k1]

Nope I can't. The VPN doesn't work now and I can't use remote desktop

We use TightVNC on the client and this:

to establish a ssh connection to the server.
Click the VNC button. Type in the IP of the local machine. Your in.
Easy to use.
