How to open port for remote desktop connection?

[BHEbrecht]

how do I open a port for remote desktop connection and forward my e0 (outside ip) which is DHCP (not static) to my computer ip which is 192.168.1.101. I did something before with forwarding and the computer i forward to, there ended up being an ip conflict. Need to get my RDC working.

Thanks in advance!

Assuming that you use nat/pat and a dialer interface. If you do not have a dialer int replace the dialer0 with your outside interface:

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.101 3389 interface Dialer0 3389

No do i not believe I have a dialer interface. This is my current setup.

Router#show run

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 560 bytes

ip nat outside

interface FastEthernet0

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

speed auto

ip nat inside source list 1 interface Ethernet0 overload

ip classless

no ip http server

access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

line con 0

line aux 0

line vty 0 4

no scheduler allocate

end

So how would I forward my outside dhcp cable to an inside ip with port 3389. I can't set it as static because the e0(dhcp outside ip) is always changing.

Couple the overload action to the physical interface and it will work fine.

So it will be

ip nat inside source static tcp 3389 interf e0 3389

To be able to indentify your host you can couple your dynamic ip to an hostname, you can find more info about this on http://www.dyndns.org .
