I have set up a server with two network cards - one for Broadband & one for the LAN. Everything works fine except I cannot establish a remote connection. Users on the Lan get broadband OK and I can ping the server from outside. I have a static ip address and have been trying to make contact using '**.**.**.***/remote'.

I've pasted the output from ipconfig/all below:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for reading this.
 
Open port 4125 on your router/firewall. That is the port used by /remote.

I hope you find this post helpful.
