RDP Question

[mic_y]

Hi guys,

I have the following question, and hopefully someone can help me out here.

I administrate a small companies network, where I sometimes need to access the PC's from home. The company uses a DLink DSL-G604T router, where I have set up port forwarding to forward incoming RDP connections (TCP Port 3389) to the server (Small Business Server 2003 Standard). If I want to RDP any of the other machines, the only way I can access them is to RDP into the server, and then RDP from there to any of the cleint machines.

Lately, a need has arisen for me to RDP into one of the clients (Win XP Pro) on a regular basis, and RDP'ing into the server, and from there going to the client is a bit of a pain.

Is there any way to set things up so that I can RDP into both the server and the one client machine, without making the extra hop to the server necessary.

Thanks for the help

I normally just VPN into our offices and RDP to any machine I want.

Another option would be to install VNC server on the other machine and forward the port for VNC to the other machine then log in via VNC viewer...

Or.. Port forward 3399 to 3389 on the other computer, and remote to [Regular IP]:3399

that's even a better idea then VNC.

ah, thanks guys... awesome... shot for the quick replies...

Decided that I will just map external port 3390 to PC's-IP:3389. Only thing I need to find out now, is what the damn machines IP is, as well as make sure that no-one turns it off at night. So looks like I am going to have to go in to the office tomorrow. Well any case, one again, thanks for all the replies. It is greatly appreciated.
