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

To be clear...
My XP desktops and the Buffalo wireless access point all use *static*
addresses on my home LAN, ie. Ashtabula (192.168.1.11), Norman
(192.168.1.12) and the Buffalo (192.168.1.10). The LAN IP of the NR041 is
192.168.1.1 which is the default.
My laptop and PocketPC use dynamic addresses assigned by the NR041 routers
DHCP server. Those are 192.168.1.101 and .102 respectively simply because I
can assign a DHCP IP address based on the MAC address of the client. Don't
worry about that as far as your concerned.
In all of those cases the static and dynamic IP addresses on my local LAN
are in the 192.168.1.X range (see above).
My ISP assigns a dynamic IP address to the NR041 public interface typically
a 68.X.X.X address. I have no control over that.
If you can't log on locally over your private LAN from another PC on the
same LAN (wired or wireless) then you will never be able to log on remotely.
The PCs on your local LAN should have addresses in the 10.1.10.X range. So
if the PC you want to connect to is assigned an IP of 10.1.10.100 then use
that IP from another PC on the same local LAN to test if you have Remote
Desktop (RDP) enabled and running correctly.
The RDP host PC must be using a static IP in order for you to connect
locally or remotely reliably...
As far as addressing the public dynamic IP from my ISP I use a free service
from NO-IP.com that maps a fully qualified domain name (ie. alias if you
will) to the ISP assigned dynamic address. A small program runs on one of my
XP desktops and on a time scheduled basis contacts the NO-IP.com servers.
The NO-IP.com servers then know what the current IP is and map that to my
alias. I then can use the alias to call my home LAN from a remote site. I
don't need to know the current IP. All of that is noted on my Remote Desktop
help page I pointed you to in an earlier post...
http://www.no-ip.com
Do me and you a big favor and try to use a few paragraphs instead of running
everything together. Its very difficult (at least for me) to read your last
post and really figure out the addressing, etc...
Thanks...
Let us know how you make out...
Later...

Maybe I am confusing the terms. I thought a static IP address was assigned
by
the ISP and a Dynamic was assigned by the router or DHCP server. The
laptop
is currently assigned an IP address that I put in the TCP/IP settings that
was one of a range baught from the ISP (static). No I cannot log in
remotely
from within the network! What I see from your network is the laptop taking
it's IP address from the NR041 which would be a dynamic IP address and
then
you program that IP address into the port frwrding of the NR041 or in my
case
the SMC. what I am not sure of is it looks like all the computers on your
design are taking a dynamic address from the NR041 all the numbers are
sequntial, wireless 192.168.1.10 and the others are in line Ashtabula
xx.xx.xx.11, Norman xx.xx.xx.12 so I would have to believe the internal
address of the NR041 is 192.168.1.x. I have spoken to so many techs that
had
me doing all kinds of stuff for days and none of it working. My SMC
modem/router has an internal address of 10.1.10.1 and an assigned public
IP
address from the ISP, My Dlink wireless router has an assigned address of
10.1.10.254 because I was told to change it to be within the range of
Dynamic
addresses the SMC will allow. I have 5 computers hard wired to the
network, 3
go directly to the SMC 4 port and 1 Lan port goes to the Dlink 4 port
wireless router. I have 2 computers hardwired into that plus the wireless.
All the hardwired computers have an assigned IP address from the ISP
(Static)
and I took one of the hardwired computers IP address and programmed it
into
the laptop because the Dlink support said it will not work unless it had
one
of the assigned IP addresses from the ISP. I can ping the laptop with its
current IP address assigned by the ISP but cannot remote into it. From
what I
am understanding is that I need to change the laptop to an address within
the
SMC range of 10.1.10.10 through 253 and then port frwrd that address into
the
SMC because when I go into the SMC router to port frwrd, it will only let
me
put in a number that begins with 10.1.10.x. X being the number assigned by
the router for the laptop/wireless connection, right? If that is the case
then how can I remote into it without a public or static IP? I hope this
isn't getting on your nerves! I know I can't take anymore of those 5 hour
support calls myself to someone who doesn't know what he is doing or can't
understand the fact that I need an upper level tech that can speak english
well! Please add the link to your RDP troubleshooting page too, thanks
Al!!!!!!!!
