What do you mean your port forwarding through the router and DC? why are you not simply going from the router to the terminal server?

My question is very similiar to a question raised on 4/24/2006 by Barry which seemed to have no conclusion!

However I am fortunate in having more information.

I am trying to connect to a Windows 2003 terminal server inside our network. I am forwarding 3389 through our router and a Windows 2003 Domain Controller to the terminal server on address 10.0.0.254. Using telnet from the internet i can see the connection is being refused. I can connect to this terminal server from inside the network.

The interesting additional fact is that i can successfully connect to a Windows 2000 terminal server running on address 10.0.0.253 from the internet.

Any help in resolving this issue would be very gratefully received.
