Remote desktop through firewall

[edugger]

Im trying to remotely connect to a windows 2003 server via remote desktop from my internal network to my DMZ. I have opened port tcp 3389 both directions and it still doesnt work. There is an external mapping to this device from ext IP to dmz IP which may be the problem.

Anyone have some suggestions on what to check?

Thanks

Have disabled NAT between your inside and dmz network ?

static (inside,dmz) Inside-Network Inside-Network netmask 255.255.255.0

If there is no access-list on the inside interface then you should be able to connect to RDP host with his local IP not the public IP.

Yes, it is. I can ping the PC just fine using its true IP.

Have you enabled "logging buffer warning" and what do you see there (show logg) whan you connect to the RDP host on TCP port 3389. Any drops or translation problem messages.

How dows the access-list looks on the inside interface if you have one.
