What do you mean by DMZ?

Sorry for my ignorance

 

[jnjroach]

Sorry...the DMZ is the list in your Router Configuration that allows Port Forwarding (or on some Router you can actually put a device into the DMZ unprotected).

 

[bulls96]

Is this the DMZ list you are pertaining to?

Under the port forwarding menu this is what is shows.

You need to add the RDP Rule under the Port Forwarding Section....

Service = RDP
Server IP Address is the Internal IP of the RDP Target
External and Internal IP 3389

Did that but this error keeps popping up.

That's for both TCP and TCP/UDP protocols. Oddly if I place UDP protocol it saves it but the remote desktop fails to go thru.

Remind me what Router you are using?

 

[bulls96]

Its a NETGEAR WNDR4300.

Thank you sir!

So back on Post 80 you had it configure correctly, did the IP Address of the Target Change? Is that entry still listed?

Yes the IP address of the target changed. It's 12 now instead of 9. I erased that entry because it won't let me change the target ip for some reason. Is that entry still in there even if I erased it? Is that why it keeps saying the port is already in use?

Thanks again sir!

 

[jnjroach]

It looks like it may be stuck in there somewhere...but now we getting into Router Factory Resets which would require you to setup it up again...or Set a Reservation for the Host back to 9 and re-add it...

I really like Teamviewer...... no messing with static IPs and configuring ports....
