Remote Desktop Clients

[jwillard]

Can anyone tell me how I can choose the client on a lan that I want to connect to using Remote Desktop over the internet. I dont know how to redirect differnt connections to different clients. I am using no-ip's service to get to the remote location but I can not switch the client which I am connecting to.I would imagine I would use nat to reidirect but any help would be appreciated.

No Guts No Glory. So I try and try again...

I would VPN into your LAN and then you can connect to any LAN client simply by keying in their LAN computer name or LAN ip address in the remote desktop settings.

If you're not using VPN and if your firewall is forwarding remote desktop traffic to a specific IP Address, I think you're stuck to that one client. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

At the remote router, create a port forward for 3389,3390,3391, etc. to different LAN IPs. Then configure each to use a different listening port:

Remember to pass the port when connecting:

Thanks, I will give that a try. If not I have found a remote admin program which I can put on the server that I connect to, that will get me to all the other machines.

You can RD into one machine, and RD from there to other local LAN machines.

You might find it easier if you enforce advertising:
