I've been trying to do some digging on this, but it seems I have ran out of places to look.
I am trying to set up a RDC connection on a network using a Linksys WRT54G (v.3 firmware). The server computer is configured with a manual IP, outside the DHCP range. RDC connection is enabled (port 3389 is enabled). Internet Connection Firewall is disabled currently. Port 3389 is mapped to the static IP on the router. I also disabled the 'block internet requests' checkbox and the firewall on the Linksys router.
I can connect fine from inside my network, using the internal static IP, or the public IP. However, I am unable to connect from an external computer using the public IP.
While on an external computer, I am unable to ping the router or connect to the remote desktop. This seems strange because I disabled the checkbox above. I also have SBC DSL, but I don't know if they block any ports.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks!
