I am attempting to setup remote-desktop such that I can connect to my home PC using Windows Remote Desktop software. I have the following setup:
Cable Modem (Motorola SB 5101).
Cable Modem connects into Vonage Device (Motorola VT2142-VD)
Vonage Device connects into D-Link wireless router (DLink DIR-615 rev C)
Home-PC connects into D-Link router via Ethernet cable
I followed the instruction on portforward.com for both devices but it doesn't seem like it's working. I've scoured the internet and haven't found anything that might solve what I'm attempting to do. I have setup a "free" ddns system via the dlinkddns.com extension, and can now
Last note: I have Windows 7 (Ultimate) running on Home PC running on 192.168.0.100 (static assignment). I have enabled RDP in the System Settings, what I'm having difficulty is connecting to the RDP when I use the ddns.com service. Any help/direction would greatly be appreciated!
What I would recommend is to flash your DIR-615 with DD-WRT which has VPN option. Set that up, you can find tutorials on DD-WRT webpage. Once you VPN you then can safely (safer than just RDP) connect to your machine. – Darius – 2011-05-03T03:01:28.433
What happens if you put actual IP address into RDP? – Darius – 2011-05-03T03:02:20.163
Using another computer in the LAN, I've verified that the RDP successfully connects to my machine with the login credentials I provide. Thusly, when I type in 192.168.0.100 from the non-host machine (both connected to LAN), I get RDP working properly. – Magnum – 2011-05-03T05:06:24.517
