I have been banging my head against the wall for a long time now trying to get remote desktop working on my Win 7 machine.
Here are the things I have tried:
- I have verified using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and other services that the port is accessible.
- I can use remote desktop inside my local network.
- Port forwarding seems to be configured correctly.
- I have disabled the firewall on both my local computer as well as my DSL Router.
One thing that does concern me is that when I look at the listening ports section on the network tab of the Resource Monitor, the firewall status is Not Allowed, not restricted
. I'm not sure what Not Allowed means but it seems suspicious.
I am at a loss for other ideas to check. It seems that I must be missing something obvious but I can't think what it would be.
1That's a very common behavior; forwarding traffic destined for the external IP back to the internal network is called hairpinning, and not all NAT devices implement it. – Eric – 2011-02-27T03:55:14.190
