I have one Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services set up in each of three offices that I would like to get into from the outside world, one to be able to do some admin stuff without having to go to each office and another for the owner to be able to look at the cameras hooked up to each store. I have attempted to use VPN to do this and although I can ping the IP address I cannot log into the server. What are some things I need to look for? I have two NICs in the server one for terminal services internal and one for the vpn. The one office I am doing this at first has a static IP address and I have set the router to do vpn pass-through or at least I think I have it right. The router is a D-Link DI 808HV. I'll be honest I think I bit off more than I can chew on this project I can set up internal LANs but not much experience with getting them seen from outside, most of the time it is preventing access from outside baddies. I also need later to set up a cluster outside of the offices for fail safe and backup of all three servers, but that is another project altogether that I am still doing research on. I have to be able currently for the owner to log into either of the servers and see an app that is running on them to see if and when he has appointments and to do end of day and week and monthly reports, etc. and then also to check on the cameras, and of course for me to add or delete users and so forth, They all are working as Terminal Servers just fine within each office, so at least I got that right.
