Re: RD works via lan but not via internet

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Well, it comes down to a router and port forwarding issue... What router?
With that information perhaps someone can help with specific instructions...

http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

To test this you must be using a remote PC and *NOT* a local PC calling the
public IP of the router.

Are you running the newest firmware in the router?
Have you tried a power off/on reset of the router?
Are you calling the correct public IP of the router?

Have you tried the http://www.canyouseeme.org test from the XP PC for both
TCP Port 3389 (RDP) and TCP Port 5900 (VNC)? Does the test report the
correct static IP for the router (as assigned by your ISP)? If you get a
timeout then its back to the router issue...
