Windows remote desktop through NAT


I just setup remote desktop to my Windows server 2012 R2. Thi works great from LAN. How can I setup remote desktop from outside of the LAN. I have tried NAT like this:

192.168.1.200 = windows server's IP

192.168.1.200:80 -->> my_public_IP:10200

when I want connect to it like this, it doesn't work. Maybe other local port..?


Solution

  • Windows vista onwards provides secure RDP connectivity over IPv6 without port forwarding configuration on NAT. This feature is called WICN & it gives a unique name to your computer using which you can directly RDP to the machine. Please check the below link to enable & use it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727045.aspx
