Hi.. I am using a Windows Xp laptop which I am connecting wirelessly to the broadband router. I am able to access internet. I am also able to connect to the VPN, howwever it doesnt allow me to do any Remote Desktop Connections to a Particular computer on the VPN network. I stayed in a hotel last week and did connect from their using the same laptop and it worked fine. However there I connected using a Wired Connection and it worked fine. I have even tried making a wired connection from my router but it doesnt let me connect via RDP. Can you please suggest what changes I need to make to the settings ( if any ) to resolve this issue ?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Many Thanks
Ankur Gupta

Hey, I’ve tried your service. Running a Vista Ultimate Machine. I got the Local network to see the computer and RDP works perfectly. Trying to access my home computer from another location such as Work or Out of state area’s. Can’t get it to communicate.

If i go onto my Sister’s XP Pro system with the RDP 6.0 Update. I can access. However, Outside networking cannot. I’ve tried your service installation instructions to no avail. Running WRT54G Router. My home computer is Wireless. Any questions let me know. Thanks!

I have setup Remote Desktop to use port 3390 and everything works great except that the host computer cannot see the client printers.

I did this because I have another Remote Desktop setup running through the same router using the default 3389 port. It prints on the client machine.

Both host and client printers are the same model and their drivers are installed on both machines. Both machines can to their printers.

Any helpt would be appreciated.

Regards,

I am using a belkin router. I have set up a Dyndns account and the udate settings in the Blekin so I can access the GUI of the router remotely, this is great. I have an old PC I want to us as a web page server or FTP. How can i set up the router to view the webpage or FTP pages and still get to the Gui of the router. I believe I did it befor using the DMZ setting. but the router forwarded all incoming web request to the old PC and I could not get to the router GUI going to my dyndns.org name I set up.

Thanks don

When I type in the DynDNS info into the DDNS tab, it says “connecting to server please wait!” and then does nothing. If I leave that section and comes back, under status it says “abusive update.” Do you know the solution to this problem?

I have a Linksys WRT54G ver.2 .
I set up everything as you stated and I am able to remotely connect using my desktop’s ip address, which I made fixed as instructed.
The issue is I cannot connect using the host name I created on DynDNS.com. It doesn’t see the desktop unless I use the ip. Now correct me if I’m worng, but isn’t the point of setting up the dns so that you don’t have to have a fixed ip address. It keeps track of whatever your ip is through the updater…? Can I change back to an automatic ip?
Confused…
Thanks in advance.

This works. The only thing the article leaves out is that you have to reboot after making the change in registry.

Will Keeptrying,

According to this Microsoft KB article, you will have to change the registry in order to use a different port with Remote Desktop application.

Let me know if you decide to go ahead and alter your registry and also the results�
