I have a Netgear firewall/router connecting my private
home network to the internet via a single DSL IP address. The router has been configured to forward port 3389 through to a specific machine inside the private network, and was working fine until I made some configuration tweaks to XP on this machine over the weekend. Now I can make a Remote Desktop connection to the machine from another machine inside the private network, using the local private IP, but I can no longer reach the machine from outside using the public IP the router/firewall is managing. I confirmed that the router is not the problem by reconfiguring the forwarded port to point to a different XP machine that I didn't modify, and can successfully make a connection from the outside (and inside) to that one. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? IS there some way to log the connection attempts on port 3389 so I can at least see that the machine is recieving and rejecting them? I looked and look through MSDN library docs and searched, but couldn't find anything to help me enable to sort of logging I need to at least if the connection request is coming in, and what windows is doing with it. Thanks, Dave |
