Help please - RD configuration

M

Mark

I have previously posted the message below and am in need
of some help. From reading through other postings it
appears that I need to forward port 3389 on the router to
the desktop IP that I want to access. Can I do this
multiple times for each of the computers that I want to be
able to access over the firewall? For example, if I have
3 PCs behind the firewall with static IP addresses do I
simply need to forward port 3389 to each of these
individual IP addresses? I will be accessing through a
public IP address:

ie: Gateway or public IP address = 64.xx.xx.xx
IP of PC 1 behind firewall = 192.168.254.14
IP of PC 2 behind firewall = 192.168.254.15
IP of PC 3 behind firewall = 192.168.254.20

What commands do I need to enter for the efficient
networks 5861 DSL router in order to be able to use RD and
connect to each of the individual PCs behind the firewall?

Previous message:

We have an Efficient Networks 5861 DSL Router that our
peer-to-peer network uses to access the Internet. I would
like to know how to configure the router in order to allow
our employees to access their individual work computers
remotely using a VPN connection and remote desktop (both
within XP Pro). The firewall on the router is set to
minimum and there is no proxy server. We have a public
gateway address that is used to access one of the
computers via PCAnywhere for technical support of our main
database but this is not the best solution for our
employees.

Each PC behind the firewall has a static IP address within
the valid range of addresses. I would like for each
employee to be able to access their individual work PC
(and the network from there). What are the router
commands required to allow for us to accomplish this?

Thank you -
