Remote desktop on a router

So i'm at a university, and my pc in my dorm room is on a router so my MBP can have wireless internet. I was wondering how i can remote access my desktop from locations other than in my dorm room. If i use the ip that the router has assigned my pc i can connect, but do i need to put my pc just on the school netowrk to get it to work, or what do i do?
Anything would be helpful
Thanks

Help need setting up remote desktop (on a router)

hey networking pros,
I have major trouble setting up remote login (remote desktop).
Specification : OSX tiger, LINKSYS
now i have managed to use tightVNC and manage remote desktop BUT that was when i was on the same network. Now my laptop lies at home and at school (work) i have windows running and want to access my mac at home. I cant manage to do that. Since i am on a different network and that i have router at home and also i do not use air port express (i use a linksys)
I need a static ip which in need to know the DNS servers (adelphia dosent give that to me since i am not a business customer). I have enabled port forwarding (5900) i have even set up an an account with dysDNS.org (i dunno how that helped).
can some one please give me with step by step instruction.
thanks

You already have most of what you need, but you do need a little more understanding of what you're doing.
Keep in mind that the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client is one-way only. You can connect from a Mac to a Window XP Professional computer, but not from Windows XP Pro to Mac OS X. What I describe below is how to connect from a Mac on the Internet to a Windows XP Pro computer at home.
First, Remote Desktop may look like VNC, but it's not the same thing. Therefore, port 5900, which works with VNC, won't work for Remote Desktop. You'll want to port forward 3389 to make this work. When you go to your router and make this port forward entry, you'll enter the IP address of the machine you want to direct all RDC traffic to. This gets the RDC traffic from your router to your computer.
You went to DynDNS.org to help you find your router on the Internet. The IP address, as you've researched, can change. But if you set up your router to report its IP address to DynDNS then you can always connect to your router by name. You don't have to keep track of your IP address changing. DynDNS will do this for you. This gets the RDC traffic from you to your router.
So, the steps are:
1. Set up a DynDNS.org account and you'll give yourself a name such as "myrouter" so that you can use a name like "myrouter.homeip.net" to connect to your home network.
2. On your router, port forward all incoming Internet 3389 traffic to the IP address and port 3389 of your computer.
3. On your Windows XP Pro computer (you can't do this with Windows XP Home) enable the Remote Desktop Connection software (right-click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab --> select the second checkbox).
4. From a Mac somewhere on the Internet, open the RDC client and enter the DynDNS name you gave yourself and click the Connect button.
5. Your Mac will contact DynDNS and get your current IP address.
6. Your Mac will then connect to your home router, which will forward all RDC traffic (coming in on port 3389) to your Windows computer in your home.
Hope this helps! bill

Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
It shows on screen that:
Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Generally, if it is a home network environment, please use IP address of the target computer as the PC name.

Arris Router then Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 DNS Windows Remote Desktop?

I get internet access from Arris router - Atheros AR9285 driver (obtains IP address automatically) - to Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 for Wifi to all home gagets. I was able to "Remote Assist" and "Remote Desktop" at home on multi Windows 7s. However, I am having problems outside when traveling because my IP address changes.
So far, I gave permission to window firewall. Next, I added a 3389 port in Apples Airport Extreme. When I am not home. I want to access my home computer. Which IP address do I enter? "What is my IP" is not going to help when I'm not home. That IP is for the Router only anyway. How do I get a static IP address? How do I connect to my super muscle home computer from my wimpy portables?

You need a static public IP which you buy from your ISP.. this is not internal LAN IP..
If your ISP cannot supply it or it is too expensive.. then you need to use dynamic DNS.. this is not going to be easy because apple do not include a DDNS client and the global domain name seems to no longer work.
Look at tesserax document on remote access.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
The problem is, that is for Apple clients.. not windows. Is your wimpy portable a windows computer??
Strongly recommend using a VPN router in that case.. relegate the AE to wireless bridge duties.
If the Arris is a modem router then it will probably work.. almost every router in the world has ddns except Apple.

Apple Remote Desktop when using AirPort inside a FiOS Router

I have a verison FiOS Router that is no longer hosting my wireless. That is now configured through my AirPort TimeCapsule. How do I set up my system to use Apple Remote Desktop for access over the Internet. It worked before when I set up Port Forwarding in my FiOS Router. How do I do in this new configuration? Thanks

You disabled the wireless radio in your FiOS router, but did you reconfigure it as a bridge? That is, did you also disable the router's NAT & DHCP services? If not, then the FiOS router is still the device that you would configure port mapping/forwarding on. Also, with NAT & DHCP enabled on the FiOS router, the Time Capsule should be in bridge mode.

Remote Desktop Connection to Windows 8 PC from other computers crashing

Hi all.
Was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I'm having.
I'm trying to get a LAN remote desktop connection established to my Windows 8 laptop. It's an HP ENVY 17t-2100 CTO 3D Edition Notebook PC. Note that I'm running Windows 8 Pro only - not 8.1 as HP haven't released 8.1 graphics drivers for this laptop and probably
never will. The computer has a single user profile that has full administrator rights.
I have followed numerous web tutorials on how to turn on Remote Desktop. I've gone into Advanced System Settings > System Properties > Remote > checked "Allow Remote connections to this computer". All seems ok to me.
The problem comes when I try to establish a connection. When the connection is made, it almost instantaneously crashes the session on the computer or device trying to connect. The RDP client on my Windows 7 laptop, Mac OSX or Mac running Windows 8.1 Pro just
crashes, while the RDP iPhone or iPad app simply flickers for a few seconds then goes back to the main screen. Meanwhile, the HP ENVY loads the lock screen and displays a message saying XXX device is connected remotely and it won't let me log back in to kill
the connection or do anything. I have to restart the computer from then to be able to use it again.
I'm convinced there's not a problem with my local network as the HP ENVY can RDP into the Windows 7 laptop or Mac running Windows 8.1 without any problems. All computers are connected via Ethernet to a Linksys/Cisco wireless ADSL modem router which supports
Gigabit. The iPhone and iPad of course connect to the wifi network from the Cisco/Linksys modem router
I've also had a brief look at the RDP local connection logs. From what I can make out, they confirm that a user has successfully logged in, but they don't provide a crash log or a log of the user ever disconnecting, probably because I have to restart the computer
to continue using it. Dead end there, it seems.
The HP ENVY is connected to 3 external HP LED monitors. I've disconnected them and tried all devices with no luck. I've also played round with the RDP client settings to not mount drives or printers and the HP ENVY has no printers connected anyway, though I've
done all I can to remove any printer drivers as I've read elsewhere that they are what could cause the problem, but I've had no luck.
If anyone can suggest anything more that I can try, I would be unbelievably grateful! I'm more than happy to provide screenshots or videos of what happens when I try connecting. I'm not sure what you experts would find immediately helpful so just ask away if
you think I can provide anything.
Thanks in advance!

The first thing that I would try is to uncheck all of the boxes for local resources on computer running the RDP client. It is possible that a device, such as a printer or other redirected device, is causing the crash. You can also look under Event Viewer
in the event logs of both systems and see if anything unusual appears when you attempt the remote connection.

Hi Brandon
Many thanks for your suggestions. There's nothing in the logs that I could find, like I said in the original post. I've also tried connecting with bare minimum settings on all devices (FYI the iPad and iPhone version don't support the use of printers) and
this still hasn't helped.
If you have any other ideas I'd be very glad to hear them!

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn and Remote Desktop Connection

So, my pc operates on Win7-64bit. I use Remote Desktop Connection to log in to the company server, running on MS Server 2008. I purchased the HP MFP M127fn today after confirming that it is compatible with both OS listed above. I successfully installed it directly to the server via usb cord - to make sure the correct drivers downloaded to the server. I was able to test-print and print from an app while physically connected to the server. I then disconnected the printer from the server and successfully connected it to my local pc. I can test-print and print from an app on my desktop. When connect to the server via RDC, it recognizes the MFP M127fn as my default printer, and sends a print job to my local pc. I can see the job in the server print queue, I can see the print job in queue on my desktop....it spools, then says it prints, however no actual print job ever materializes.
If I select to print to the MFP M127fn fax from the server, it will open the fax window on my desktop, allow me to enter a phone number, and will dial out and send the fax. So, that driver is functioning properly.
So, my question is this: If the printer and fax claim to be successfully installed, why do I not get the print job that is sent via the server and appears in my local print queue? I get no error, either on the server side or the local desktop. They both truly think the job has printed.....but no paper ever comes out.
Our company has used several other HP printers over the years with this same set-up and have never had a problem until now. The last one was also an HP MFP - the CM1312. So, I am now completely stumped by this. I called HP support and was routed through 4 different areas before I was told that no one had a clue what the problem might be. I then called the Easy-Tech desk at Staples, where I bought the printer, and was told that it was most-likely a hardware issue and I should return the printer to swap it out for another one. If nothing would print at all, I would agree it's hardware. But, as I can print locally, I'm more-inclined to think it's driver-related......any suggestions?

Hi,
The M127fn uses the PCLmS printing language which is a lightweight printing language, a such is not supported for RDP printing.
As a reference you may find the following socument about Citrix, Terminal Services and RDP Printing, as you may find listed the M127 is not supported for a such:
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4aa0-8465enw&404m=secure-erc
That is clearly not an harware issue, however I suggest returning the printer and replacing it with a different model which better feet such a task.
The M225dn as an example uses a PCL 6 print driver and should provide a better feet for RDP printing using HP UPD.

IOS Remote Desktop App resolves hostname but throws Host is not reachable error.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Remote Desktop app on my iPad running iOS 7.0.2 to connect to a server through our Juniper VPN. When I type the hostname or IP address I get an error that say "Host is not reachable". If I connect through my Mac I have no
problem when on the same VPN. I have looked through all of the setting in Junos Pulse and it is setup to route all traffic through the VPN, and I do not know of anything that would be blocking it on the network end.
Edit: I am connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with RDP turned on with all types of connections.

Hi,
According to the log, your iPad tried to connect the remote server with IP address 10.100.01.01/32. Please check if it is the correct IP address of the server.
Also, please make sure that your iPad can connect to your VPN network successfully and get a valid IP address so that it can remote your internal server.
Thanks.

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

Hope it helps!

How can I remotely access my computer from a different location on Apple Remote Desktop?

I downloaded Apple Remote Desktop and am trying to access our computer at our church that is in the auditorium and work on slides for ProPresenter from my office which is on a different network. The Mac Pro, which is in the auditorium, is connected to a Netgear wireless router. I would also want to be able to have access to observe and control the screen on the Mac Pro whether I am in my office or at my house. I have tried everything from going to portforward.com, followed those instructions, did port forwarding, used ipchicken.com to get my external IP and made sure that the Mac Pro had a static internal IP address and made sure the computer had access for remote management. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Works fine when it is on the same wireless network, but I need access being on a different wireless network. Thanks!

Hi austinmac14,
So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
Open Airport Utility:
go to the dock
Click on the finder
go to the menu bar
Click on the "Go" menu
Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
double Click on "AirPort Utility"
Access the Base Station:
Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.

Find out what your public internet IP address is.
On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, gotohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/
when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
connect to the internet from another location.
open Apple Remote Desktop
go to the file menu
chose connect to computer using ip address
set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
Also some network connections change. When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

Windows server 2012 and windows xp remote desktop connection loss

I am having this problem for a month now, and i am stumped with trying to find an answer . I have talked with several network admins in my area and with no luck i have not found a solution. I have a windows server 2012 placed with 5 pcs that are connected
on a local network , those 5 pc's connect to the server via remote desktop. List of pc's:
1x Windows 7
4x Windows XP SP3
All have the latests network drivers, all have the latest version of remote desktop installed. All have been scanned for viruses. All have antivirus software.
Problem is the 4 XP machines lose connection on when connected via remote desktop. If one starts losing connection the other 3 start to lose the connection aswell. The windows 7 machine is not affected by this it works fine.
What have I tried:
Scanning for viruses.
Disabling Firewall and antivirus software.
Updating all drivers.
Did many changes to group policy like keepalives etc.
Turning off SMBv2 SMBv3.
Turning off network adapter Offload settings.
Changed some registry settings like keepalive, smb etc.
Updating every pc and server with all windows updates.
Changed the router and switch.
Port forwarded needed ports like 3389.
Updating remote desktop to 7.0.
I might be forgetting some stuff i will add as i remember anything.
So the thing is this. I use a Windows XP machine from my office I remotely connect to the server via the Internet and I DO NOT experience any connection loss. BUT the XP machines on the local network constantly experience connection loss via remote desktop.
I pinged every Machine from the server via CMD command PING. So when they lose connection the Packets get time outs . Packets get dropped between 1-10 packets when a connection is lost. This packet drop does not occur when using the internet or anything else.
ONLY when connected to the server via remote desktop. The packets get dropped at random intervals.
Problem is I use an XP machine and I am not experiencing any loss of connection , while the XP machines on the local network experience it , but not the windows 7 machine.
Router is ASUS RT-N53 , and switch is Dlink DES-1008D. Server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.
Can someone please tell me what can i do to solve this problem?

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?

Computers sound on iPad with Remote Desktop but muted on laptop.

I'm currently using iTeleport for a remote desktop app (but looking for something better). Anyway, I would like to hear the laptop sound (core audio output) on the iPad - but here's the catch - I want the laptop speakers muted. Is this possible? Can I have the laptops sound output over the iPad while the laptops speakers are muted (and not have the mute follow to the iPad)?

Its just simple...enable UPnP forwarding on the router.

New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
For example
IP Address: 192.168.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Type: Private
You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:

HELP!!! remote desktop and time capsule

Hello!
Could You help me? I have two problems with access to my Time Capsule.
I have wireless network at home based on Time Capsule, with one static IP. I have conected it (wireless) with two iMac's. Me and my girlfriend we have also two macbooks and when we are out of home we want to acces data on our Time Capsule disk. I need access to disk to edit data on it while being long way out of home. Second problem is to access data on our iMac's. I bought Apple Remote Desktop software, it's incredible what it can do . But only when I'm connected to my wireless network LAN. I need to controll my iMac while being out of home. How to configure Time Capsule and ARD to acces disk and control iMac's? Let me remind You that I have one static IP for Time Capsule router WAN. Please help and I would be very very thankful for screenshots of configuraion, I'm newbie in this.
Thank You very much.
Kind regards.

The subject of connecting via ARD over the internet has been covered many times on these forums, and info on which ports to forward on your router are in the ARD user guide.
See this article: http://www.starklmc.com/ard It should get you started, but you'll need to consult the documentation that came with your Time Capsule on setting up port forwarding correctly.
