Access Multiple TS Servers behind NAT router?

[Craig Pilkington]

Hi there - ok here goes...

We have a NAT router at my place of work and several
Servers behind this that have TS enabled in remote admin
mode...I have setup port forwarding (3389) to the
internal IP's of the servers to test them out from
home...I can connect to the server in question no
problems and it works brilliantly. My question is this:

I want to be able to connect to any of the TS servers and
I can definie rules in the NAT router to port forward to
all of them so that they can be accessed but when
connecting from home via TS client there is no way to
specify which server I want to connect to as all I can
specify is our works Public IP (we only have 1) - Is
there a way/solution/workaround that I can use to be able
to connect to 'any' of the servers? I have tried setting
up TS client on one of the TS servers and launching TS
sessions from 'within' the initial TS session (if you
know what i mean) but as I am using an IPSec policy on
the TS servers I cannot change the local security policy
of the server to 'Client (respond only)' as its already
set to 'Secure Server'...and both cannot be
selected....so when I initiate this 'session 'within' the
first session I just get a 'time-out' error as obviously
the server attempting the connection could not 'respond'
to the IPSec policy on the 'other' TS server trying to be
contacted.....phew - Hope you understood all that. Im
probably making this out to be toooo complex and theres
probably a REALLY easy solution.

Any help would be FANTASTIC

Thanks a lot in advance guys and sorry for the long post

cheers

Craig

Hiya mate - you're suggestion about changing the default
ports for the various Terminal Servers (RDP) and then
entering the WAN IP followed by the ports is the one I'll
go for....Don't know why I didn't think of that...

Thnakyou very much indeed my friend - really appreciate it

Cheers - excellent.
