Re: Multiple RDP access on one Inet line

A better solution is to use a VPN or Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel. That way you
can access multiple PCs through one hole in your firewall or router.

OpenVPN is one solution. I have that running on an XP Pro box now to access
my two XP Pro boxes behind my home router...

I have also used SSH to do the same thing... The copSSH server package...

The Tunnelier SSH client. Its good because you can configure it to
automatically start a Remote Desktop session when the tunnel is connected...

That is exactly what I need. What model is that router? Do you know
another brand that will let me do 50 or more?


I have some other brands that will allow me to forward port to an internal
IP, but they don't allow me to do what you have done and say port XXXX is
to redirect to 3389 internally @ IP 0.0.0.0.

Most any firewall/router will allow that...Its called "port
redirection"...I do that with my consumer grade routers including my
current Buffalo WBR-G54...

With that said a better solution, IMHO, is to use a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) or Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel and access any PC through one
hole in your firewall/router. Personally I have done both using either
OpenVPN or SSH. I currently use SSH...

How is your network connected to the internet? Is through a router and
if so what brand and model? That information will help others help you.

I want to give a bunch of users RDP access to their work computer. I
have one static Inet IP at my location. I could probably change all the
XP computers to respond to unique IP ports and configure my firewall to
redirect those ports to each computer but I would rather leave the XP
computers as is.

Is there a device that will do something like the following:

External port 10001 redirect to 3389 for Internal IP 192.168.1.1
External port 10002 redirect to 3389 for Internal IP 192.168.1.2
External port 10003 redirect to 3389 for Internal IP 192.168.1.3
External port 10004 redirect to 3389 for Internal IP 192.168.1.4
