Forwarding port for remote desktop connection

I have been able to connect to my home machine from work using remote desktop. Because of some changes at work I am no longer able to do this on the default port (3389). So I am trying to use port 5190 (which is used for AIM) or port 5050 (Yahoo messenger). Both of these ports are enabled from work and I don't use them at home or on the computer I connect from.
When I changed the port on my home computer, which is connected to a Linksys WRT54G router, I am able to connect when I am on my home LAN using machine_nameort. But when I try my public IP addressort (which is how I would connect from work) I am not able to connect.
I have added a port in the port range forward area of my router. I have tried 5190 and 5050 and both will not allow me to connect when I am not on my LAN.
Any ideas for this?

Actually you don't need to press the reset button for 30 seconds...only 5.
There are two ways to reset the Router’s
factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset
Button for approximately five seconds, or restore
the defaults from Administration > Factory
Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility.
This is what threw me, I pressed for more than 5 seconds and it wouldn't reset. I had to hold it for about 20 and that worked.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Unable to select Certificate for Remote Desktop Connection

Hi,
I have created a certificate with below parameter in inf file through a local Standalone 2008 r2 CA & imported it into Computer personal certificate store but unable to see this certificate entry while trying to select it under Remote desktop connection.
Somewhere saw we should have the private key in personal certificate store but didn't get how/where to get that key. Is that the reason, m unable to select this certificate or there is something missing in the input parameter used in inf file. Kindly suggest
what could be the problem.

Hi,
Problem is resolved now. i have done below two changes.
--> used KeyUsage=0xA0 in inf file.
--> imported certificate through certreq -accept. Earlier i was importing cert from mmc.
I think second point resolved my problem. i even didn't think that mmc & command can make this difference.

Forwarding UDP port for Remote Desktop Gateway

What is the correct way to forward UDP 3391 port for RDG server?
What direction should I choose for UDP port parameters? "Receive" or "Receive Send" or something else?

Aurimas N, Were you able to get RemtoteFX working through TMG? I have the same issue whre I can not get UDP working with clients conneciting over the WAN. Can you tell me specifically how you got this to work on your TMG?
Thanks
I am not sure how to check to be honest, on TMG I only see 443 port being used, and since it is remoteApp there is no connection indicator, or I don't know how to access it.

How to forward port for remote viewing...?

Since getting a Time Capsule I have been unable to use my SlingBox remotely. After doing some research I figured out that I have to forward a port...but i have no idea how...or what port to forward.
Can someone help me out here?

Use Airport Utility. Click on the Manual Setup button, then click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. Click on the Port Mapping tab then click on the [+] button to add a new configuration. Use port number 5001 for both TCP and UDP ports in the Public and Private fields. Use the IP address you have assigned to your Airport Express that you've connected to the Slingbox. You will find this all outlined in the Slingbox documentation PDF that came with the device. You can also find it at the Slingmedia website.

RV110W Configure for Remote Desktop connections

I could use some help. I have a RV110W that I just got installed and I was able to get the Client working without any problem. The problem is I can't access any of the files on my system at the office. I don't see an IP address when I run "ipconfig" on my remote system showing me that I'm on the LAN at the office while coming in via the VPN client. The admin guide is of little or no help at all.
Can someone please give me some adivce?
Thanks - Howard

hs3082-att,
If you are using the QuickVPN client, no IP address will be assigned to the connecting PC. To confirm that you are in fact connected, ping the LAN IP address of the RV110W (192.168.1.1?)
If the router that you are connecting FROM has the same LAN IP address as the RV110W, you will not be able to reach anything at the office because your local router will keep the traffic local instead of sending it through the tunnel. You should change the RV110W to something like 192.168.100.1 in that case.
Sometimes the devices that you are trying to connect to will have a firewall that blocks access from any subnet other than it's own. You may have to change the firewall settings on the devices at the office. Try to ping a network printer or some other "dumb" device to see if you are connected.

Remote Desktop Connection Times Out With "Can't Connect" From One Specific Computer Only

This is an odd one... I manage several servers from this computer. This particular server, 2012 Essentials, won't allow for remote desktop connections to either the server or attached workstations. I can get into the server's remote web page but when I
attempt a remote desktop connection, it hangs on "Initiating remote connection..." and then times out with the error response that remote desktop can't connect. But... if I attempt the same connections from any other computer, I am able to get in
and utilize remote desktop. Does this mean that there is a certificate issue with the computer unable to connect and if so, how does one remedy this? Or is it some other issue? I've attempted everything within my technical ability to no avail. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know the RDC version that used in the problematic computer? Was it the same with other computers?
Please temporarily disable firewall and then check if this issue can be solved. Based on your current description, it’s hard to say the root reason of this issue.
So, I suggest that you should check relevant log files and get some clues. It will help us to narrow down and solve your issue.
Hope this helps.

WINDOWS 7| COM Ports go unresponsive on Remote desktop connection

Hello we are experiencing a strange problem and let me explain in detail:
Problem:
We have a remote desktop connection from a PC (PC1) to remotely login and control PC2 which in turn has some hardware devices connected via COM Port of PC2. We observed that the Serial communication between the Hardware devices and the PC2 drops on some
occasions when we make a remote desktop connection to PC2 from another PC. Could anyone share some of your experiences? Has it been noticed before?
I will also take a look at the possible port conflicts but is there any other obvious reason for this to happen?
System Information:
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Regards
Sesha

Dear Dharmesh and Dear Hicham,
First of all thank you very much for your quick reponses.
Since it happens in a remote server environment I have asked our support personnel to check this settings. I will keep you updated as soon as I hear from them. In addition I would like to ask you one other question:
Since it does happen occasionally could you recommend me which types of logfiles(event logs etc.,) or information should be collected if it happens again? so we make sure it does not get overwritten?
Thank you and Best Regards
Sesha

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac Not Working

I recently purchased Office 2011 for Mac. I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7. I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me. My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines.
I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT how to get Microsoft RDC:mac to connect to my pc.
I know that the pc allows remote desktop connections because I often use RDC at work from PC to PC.
SOME PLEASE HELP! I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out and I think it is the time capsule that is causing the problem.
My research has found that I have to use port 3389 to get this done. I am pretty computer savy but when it comes to networking I guess I have no clue. I have tried just about everything a and can't figure it out.
Thanks to anyone that can dedicate some time to configureing my time capsule to allow for RDC.

I cannot quite put together your whole network..
I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7. I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me. My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines.
So this is in local lan.. the PC laptop running win7 and the Mac loaded with RDC software. If this is local lan then the issue is nothing to do with TC.
That is only if you are trying to connect from work. to home through the router at work and TC at home. On local lan there is no blocking to ports. Are you using the local network IP of the PC Laptop?
Explain a bit further as it needs a bit more clarification.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

Hi There,
I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
I connect via a wireless connection.
These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ThreeIsles

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:
