Access Terminal Server from an external IP

[Guest Mike TI]

Nov 30, 2007

 

Hi all

 

I have installed Terminal Server and can access it through the local IP

using Remote Desktop.

 

What do I have to do to be able to access it through an external static IP.

Where do I have to define it.

 

Thank you.

You have to connect to your server through some kind of VPN connection ,

possibly a secured router from sisco or others (you need a STATIC WAN IP to

connect to office) . After making the connection, just connect with remote

desktop RDP from your remote computer just if you where locally.

VPN is the preferred way as that doesn't expose your internal network to

the internet. If you want to not be secure and expose your internal

network to the internet you could simply use NAt at your firewall for

that particular box but again that is not recommended at all.
