Can someone tell me if I'm attempting the impossible or
just doing something incorrectly.

I'm wanting to RD into my home machine from the outside
using the suggested IIS - TSWEB technique. My setup is:
DSL line to Cisco 675, 675 to Linksys BEFW11S4, BEFW11S4
to various computers on my LAN, including wireless.

I forwarded the Linksys ports but my only guess is I'm
not getting through the Cisco box. I've also forwarded
the ports in the Cisco box but I think this is the hang
up. The machines on the LAN are all 192.168... addresses
off the Linksys router. To the Cisco box the Linksys is
10.0.0.2. I've got the Cisco set to foward the two
required ports to both the 192.168... machine that is the
RD host. For grins I also opened the ports for 10.0.0.2.

NMap attempts from the outside show no open ports at my
IP address.

With essentially two routers in series is this even
possible to get the port forwarding I need?

Thanks, Bob
