Re: RD works via lan but not via internet

Hi

I think I have exactly the same problem. I'm using a DLink DSL 504 ADSL
router and the RDC connection works fine specifying the internal IP address
of my RDC host but not the router's public address. Again, I'm using NAT,
forwarding the RDC port to a statically assigned internal address on the RDC
host PC. No problems connecting to the RDC host's 3389 port from
canyouseeme.org.

Al, can you explain why this doesn't work from a second internal pc
(presumably something to do with NAT)?

Thanks and regards

Cliff
