In a few years, you will be returning the favor, just as I did. There are
some really smart folks on these groups.

Yoour kindness and generosity do NOT go unnoticed. Thank you for helping
people like me, in the learning mode of ervers.

It is the same idea behind having your own mail server, where you would
have
a record pointing mail.yourdomainname.com to your mail server's public IP
address. Post an "ipconfig /all" from the TS and we will know if that is
true.
You should have it set up this way: Internet > Firewall > port forward
3389
to TS LAN IP address.
To connect by name (FQDN), and assuming you have public DNS hosting for a
web site or mail server, create a new "A" record and call it
ts01.yourdomainname.com. Point that "A" record to your current IP address
of
the TS or its firewall, then tell your users to use Remote Desktop
Connection (mstsc.exe) and use ts01.yourdomainname.com instead of the IP
address. I would give it the "ts01" name to allow for growth.
When you relocate the server to Texas (or even to a different ISP), all
you
do is change your public DNS record to point the "A" record for
ts01.yourdomainname.com to the new IP address of your firewall. Give it a
day or two to fully propagate the new IP address. In other words, change
the
"A" record to point to your new location's IP address, then ship the
server
and plug it in. By the time it gets there (a day or two?), the new IP
should
be reachable by the ts01.yourdomainname.com name using RDC (mstsc.exe).
You do NOT have to change the server's LAN IP address, unless it is
directly
connected to the Internet and is not behind a firewall (BAD idea!).

Vera,
We connect to Atlanta from Florida and Texas. We will be moving the
server
in a short while to Texas.
I connect via start/run/mstsc
the remote window comes up and I login:
So under a new location I guess things will change (time for yhe PRO's)
Contact by NAME???
Thanks for your generosity

Most likely, your server has a fixed IP number.
When you move it to a different subnet, it will keep the same IP
number, and that will *not* work on the new subnet, causing all
kinds of error messages and communication problems. So in that
case, you must change the IP number of the server to match the new
subnet.
In the unlikely case that your server uses a DHCP assigned IP
number, it will receive a new IP number from the DHCP server on the
new subnet (assuming there is a DHCP server).
In both cases, if you were connecting to the server by IP number,
you will have to change to the new IP number. Why not change to
connecting by name?
Or maybe you are connecting to the server over the internet? Then
there's probably a firewall in front of it. After changing the IP
number on the server, you will also have to configure the new
firewall to redirect traffic on port 3389 to the new IP number of
the server. And don't forget to remove the port forwarding in the
old firewall. Best to have as few holes in it as possible....

I am moving my server running W2K3 from one state to another. On
arrival, will the server have a totally different remote login
address? ex: start/run/MSTSC when the remote login comes up,
does the IP it had remain with the server or is the IP of the
server changed with the new location and service? Then we of
course would assign the new address,?? I know this is sorta a
dumb question. But, I would be more dumb if I didn't ask. Thanks
in advance.
