FVS318G Permit RDP between all LAN computers
Well, I just got my FVS318G and have successfully configured to forward port 3389 to a specific LAN computer that I want to access via RDP from the internet.
However, I want to also be able to RDP between all the LAN computers when at home.
I have read the forums...googled...experimented with settings...and unfortunately no joy.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks...p

- Retired_MemberYou have to be running XP pro or Win 7 pro or a OS which supports RDP you need to have a password set on each PC You need to check allow remote connections under Sys Properties if OS has RDP
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoAll windows O/S XP and up will have RDP.
Also you will need to be aware that mixing old RDP version and new version can conflict if you do not setup correctly.
I would also use IPsec VPN tunnel instead of inbound rules for 3389 from RDP exploitation - psuholetAspirantThanks for the quick replies.
RDP has been working fine between all computers prior to changing out this router...so no other issues such as you suggested seem likely.
I called support and they indicated that this router should have NO impact on local traffic, so I just tried restarting all the other switches/etc on the LAN...still no joy.
I guess I will restart all the computers as well and see if that helps.
p - psuholetAspirantOk...so..the RDP works if I specify the IP address of the LAN computer.
So, apparently, I have some issue with the DNS being retained from the old router?! - Retired_Member
June, Wife's laptop with Win 7 home does not have it and when I checked as to why not Microsoft said it's not part of that OS version. OP You need to check that your Home connection is still set to home in network sharing and connections. My one win 7 pro 64 has changed when switching routers.jmizoguchi wrote: All windows O/S XP and up will have RDP.

Are you talking about RDP within the LAN ? - Retired_Member
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Remote-Desktop-Connection-frequently-asked-questions Please Help me understand what this means (the last sentence clearly states you can't use it like I stated in post 2) But you claim you can. :confused: If you have a link for RDP or RDC which includes Win7 Home as being supported please post it. I cannot seem to find it. Thanks, Bill All editions of Windows 7 include Remote Desktop Connection.jmizoguchi wrote: You have to download RDP over win7 version may not include - You can use Remote Desktop to initiate a connection from any edition of Windows 7.
