Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet
I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium that I can remote desktop to the 2003
server when on the same network using the private 192.168.x.x, but when I take the laptop home and try to remote in using our public ip address, I get the message "This computer can't connect to the remote computer". My XP laptop can remote in just fine from the internet so the firewall / router is working fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Wayne

Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet
Assuming you have a router in the office, have you forward port 3389?

Yes, its changed from 3389 but the router is port forwarding to the server.
It works with my XP laptop. -Wayne "Robert L.

I tried to telnet but got the message that telnet was an unknown command or
something like that. Does Vista Home Premium have telnet and if so, how do you access/turn it on? Thanks for responding, -Wayne "Robert L.

Just to interject here -- no I don't think you'll find telnet included in
Vista. You could download PuTTY, an Open Source Telnet / SSH client. "wdueck" wrote: I tried to telnet but got the message that telnet was an unknown command or something like that.

Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet
Sorry about the second post. I forgot to ask you to include a little more
information on your setup. We need to know just how you are connecting. Is the Internet-facing IP address of your office router dynamically allocated or fixed? If dynamic, are you using DynDNS or something like that? You should walk through the settings for the WinXP and Vista systems side-by-side to see if you can spot a variance between the two.

Vista Home Premium can't RDP to Server2003 from Internet
I didn't know that. I never wondered about it, either. When I didn't get a
response from a telnet command I didn't bother looking any further, figuring that it was good riddance. But it is very nice to know this, especially for situations where installation of an Open Source (or other third party) telnet substitute isn't going to be accepted. "Robert L.

The Internet-facing IP address is static. Our XP machines can rdp just fine.
I don't have the Vista laptop in front of me but will try to telnet to the rdp port later today or tomorrow morning. Thanks "LeftFoot" wrote: Sorry about the second post.
