I take it means you solved it. If so can you explain how.

My initial thoughts would have been that your NIC(s) were set to full duplex while your switch was set to half (or is that the other way around) which is causing huge amounts of collisions. Did you make a change on the switch or NIC?

A surprisingly low-tech solution actually: as it turns out, the WinMX fileshare client is rather heavy on network resources Suspicious | :suss:

I've been reviewing your posts in all the forums, and that seems to be true. You appear to have a problem with everyone, not anyone. I'd like to slam you for your inexcusably rude behavior here, but I can't - you have posted some really valuable stuff which has helped a lot of people, and that's what this site is all about. Good job!

I encourage you to continue your valuable contributions to this site - you're an asset to us, without a doubt. But keep in mind that there are many of us who are here to learn, and your childish attempts at humiliating people are not helpful to anyone. We don't want to lose your obvious expertise, but we can certainly do without your obnoxious posts that attack our long-time members.

Cool it, kid, and let yourself be assimilated. We're a nice bunch, and it wont hurt a bit...

I'm trying to set up my PC to be accessible from the internet, but haven't had any luck so far. On my router (NAT) I've got port tcp3389 forwarding to my computer, but when I try and connect from the outside I get a vague error. Are there any other ports that need forwarding too, or am I missing something else? Suggestions? TIA Big Grin | :-D

Where do you suggest I post a question about Terminal Services? To the best of my knowledge the SysAdmin is the best place to post a question about administering a terminal services server... or not?

Ignore it, Paul. This is the right forum for anything related to system issues, and the closest thing we've got to a general PC OS/hardware/networking forum. It's evolved over the years into a broader scope than I think Chris originally intended, but these things tend to have a life of their own.

BTW - What port is the outside computer using to contact yours? Http, Ftp, and Telnet all have default ports they use, and there may some additional mapping you need to do in your NAT device to enable the port used for TS from incoming packets. Some devices also need to be configured for specific traffic types - TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.

Well, two ports are mapped, and to different computers. I've got tcp80 mapped to my webserver, where I've got a web-based terminal services client running (I don't think it's the hassle), and I've got tcp3389 (specified on NAT on router) mapped to my pc, which is the terminal services port. All the documents I've found on internet seem to suggest that 3389 is the only port you need.

I've done it with just 3389

Try a

telnet your.machine.ip.address 3389

This will help to detect if the problem is with the connection or with Terminal Services itself.

Hi Daniel, sorry about the long delay - the notification email must've got lost in the woodwork somewhere Blush | :O

The problem is definitely not with the TS server, seeing I can connect on my local network. I haven't had a chance to test yet, but I've changed it to another port, because maybe it is as Matt suggested that the ISP blocks that port.

Thanks Big Grin | :-D

Does your computer have a firewall, and double check that remote desktop is enabled (I've made this mistake before Smile | :)

The software firewall is configured correctly, because I can log in via the LAN. It's only when I try and log in via internet that it doesn't work. (The hardware firewall is turned off at the moment.)

Thanks for the response Big Grin | :-D

Its an outside chance, but maybe your ISP is blocking the port. Other than that I don't know

Could be, but I don't think so. I've managed to use lots of other things... (like vnc, webserver, ftp etc), and AFAIK my ISP doesn't block anything.

What, exactly, is the error? Alternatively, you could just email me your IP address and all your passwords and I'll check it myself. Big Grin | :-D
