Changed Win 2k3 server to domain controller and can't RDP in ....

[Guest Radioman]

Hi,

 

I appreciate this is a fairly newbie question, but I have made a win 2k3

server a domain controller, to run the inbuilt radius server.

 

However, I can no longer rdp into the server - from its static ip 195.38.3X.XX

I can access it from my local network from its static (local) ip 192.168.2.179

Via remote desktop

 

If I do netstat -a, I see it is listening on all TCP ports you would expect

(I have a mail server running and can connect to that)

 

However it is also a game server running Half-Life and that is not accessible.

 

When I look at the output of netstat -a, I can see that all TCP ports are

noted as either listening or established, but every UDP port is noted as -*-

 

So it does not seem to be listening on udp ports. Is there something in

active directory I need to set, or what am I missing please?

 

Apologies for a newbie question but you have to start somewhere. What I

wanted to do was run the inbuilt radius server in win 2k3 but I have

apparently lost a lot of my server functionality.

 

HELP!!! Please....

What is the error message that you get when you try to connect?

I can RDP in from the same network as the server - from 192.168.2.100 for

instance, to 192.168.2.179.

 

However (and my routing is right, the only thing that has changed is the

server has become a domain controller - if I try accessing it at its external

IP 195.38.81.XX I get the message below..

 

I get the message 'this computer can't connect to the remote computer' try

connecting again. If the probelem persists try cvontascting your network

administrator (ME!!)'

 

It must be something to do with domains etc - I can log in using the same

network, but not from anything on an external IP...

 

THANKS for replying so fast ...

DOH!!

 

I have figured it out...

 

It is the fault of my screwy routing!

Trying to run a game server, a remote desktop and a radius server at the

same time..

 

All on the same IP but with different ports..

Should be possible, but I can live with two out of the three at any one time.

I only need remote access when I am away from office, and at that time would

not need (say) the game server.

 

MEA CULPA MAXIMA................
