Re: Remote works at one local...not the other

So if I read this correctly you want to connect to a PC connected directly
to the D-Link wireless router using Remote Desktop?

Is the D-Link router not acting as a router? Meaning is the D-Link acting as
a wireless access point only? If not then that is the issue.
This page may help setting up the D-Link as an access point only..

Given that you need to forward/open TCP Port 3389 on the SMC modem/router to
the private LAN IP of the PC your trying to connect to. The D-Link should
act like a switch/bridge and no port forwarding is needed on that device.
The PC you want to connect to should be using a static IP address...

I do something similar on my current LAN. In my case I have an old NR041
4-Port Router as the front end to my cable ISP. I also have a Buffalo
WBR-G54 4-Port Router/Wireless Access Point connected to the NR041. Now in
my case I only use the WBR-G54 as a wireless access point meaning that I
turn off its DHCP server, assign its wired LAN interface a static IP in the
range of the NR041 and don't use the WAN port on the WBR-G54. Here is my
current home LAN illustrated...

Beyond all of that look at this page for help troubleshooting Remote
Desktop...

Can you access the PC using RDP over the private LAN? If you can't do that
then you won't be able to do it over the public internet from a remote site.

ok, let me tell you more detail about the problem. I have an SMC
Modem/Router
from the ISP. (Comcast) I have the D-link wireless router connected
through a
lan port on the SMC. Since there is no WAN port. I have gone in and port
forwarded the public IP address into the SMC and I can now ping the
wireless
laptop but I still cannot get into it remotely. I have spoke with Dlink
and
Comcast and Dlink says there is nothing they can do. Comcast says that
with a
public IP address I do not need to port frwrd. They say it is a microsoft
problem. Without the port frwrd I could not ping the laptop. I have the
port
frwrd in the SMC and not in the Dlink router. I have 3 computers connected
to
the Dlink and the server is one of them. I can remote access the server
but
not the laptop over the wireless connection. Please help before I loose a
customer. Thanks

So this would be the same case in a cable modem/router? I have the
wireless
connection working great. I have a static IP address programed into the
wireless TCP/IP settings but I cannot remote connect to the laptop. If
this
is the case, from what i've read, I need to call my cable ISP and ask
them to
turn on port 3389 for the router?
