I am trying to connect from my home computer to my office computer via Remote Desktop.
When my home computer is connected to the internet via my (wireless) router I get to the point where RDP asks for my username and password and after I do, it holds for a while at "Securing Remote Connection..." and then abandons without any error messages visible.
When I remove my router and connect my home computer directly to my home ADSL modem, it works fine. Why is it that the connection fails when going through my router?
Additional info:
- I've been able to connect successfully via the router in the past.
- In both cases above I am successfully authenticating against my office network through Shrew Soft VPN.
- My home computer is running Windows 7, my office computer is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
Thanks in advance, urig.
Update:
Thank you all for your help. I've taken a good look at my router settings (it's a D-Link D-624 btw).
I've realized that when my laptop is docked it's connected both by a cable and by the wireless connection. I guess the wireless connection takes precedence because when I change the IP address mapped to incoming port 3389 I manage to get beyond the "Securing Remote Connection...".
Now I'm stuck at "Configuring remote session..." Any ideas? :)
