Going away for a few days next week. I thought it would be good to get my desktop set up for remote access. Must admit I thought this would be tricky and I haven't been disappointed.
Firstly, the desktop is Windows 10 Pro and I've enabled Remote Desktop access on it. Works on the internal LAN.
Networking - we have this setup:
Desktop PC (the target) < ASUS Router < Huawei B593 < Internet (EE 4G)
In this order then, working "outwards":
Desktop - Check Firewall allows RDP 3389 and verified can connect via the LAN, so: Desktop PC < ASUS Router < Laptop = this works
Router - Fixed IP for WAN, check. Fixed IP for desktop, check. Set up Port Forwarding port 3389 "joining those two together". Port Range 3389 remote to 3389 local fixed IP of target machine, TCP. Check.
Router - Disable Firewall for testing. Check.
B593 Modem - disable firewall to test, check.
Plug separate 4G dongle into laptop, disable wireless. So now "coming in" from an external IP, not the LAN.
Disable the VPN we use (I'll get to that bit later). So a "raw" connection from an external IP to the externally presented IP of the home network. No "IP filtering" going on as yet.
Can't connect.
Try the "nuclear option" of DMZ in the B593 modem for the router, so exposing everything. Still won't work.
No error as such, though I'm not sure where I should be looking.
Laptop just times out the RDP attempt and says "Can't connect".
I knew this was never going to work
Any ideas..
