Re: Port Forward

From outside the network, lets say at home or someone else's home I want to
remote into my workstations as well as my server.

Right now I can remote into one or the other using RDP, but not both. And no I don't want to remote into both at the same time. I want to remote into one of the computer workstations OR the Server. I want to be able to possibly pick and choose what workstation I can remote into. I could do this with an old MS Router long ago but I would never use that on a "real" network. I used to use it on my home network and I could pick and choose what computer I wanted to remote into with port forwarding.

I don't log into my server with my user account. I use my admin account. I don't use folder redirect with my admin account and I don't have ANY restrictions on my admin account..

Hi all,

Thanks to all who helped with my Folder Redirection problem....all is
well and working great.

I have a couple of questions about a few different things.

Right now my client Remotes into a workstation with default port
3389. Is there a way to forward a port on the Server so I can access
both? If so how do I do it on the Server.

The router part is no problem.

So my Remote Desktop shortcut would be like this:

Shortcut on what, frome where?


xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3389..................This lets me access a workstation

You don't need to enter the port if you're using it - 3389 presumed.

xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:SomePortHere...............This lets me access the
Server
It can be the other way around if need be.

The only problem I can see is that I don't think I can have Remote
Desktop AND Offline Files at the same time on the Server.

Can you be more specific as to what you are trying to accomplish? Where is this workstation? If you have an external user, they should be using RWW to access their workstation, not straight RD. Don't forward port 3389 to your workstation (you don't even need to open it up at all). Don't change listening ports - it isn't needed.

You can't use offline files on your server, but you should never be logging into your server with a user account, and your admin account should not have folder redirection, offline files, or custom group policy restrictions on it.
