Guidance To Access Local Server (NAT IP Address) Through TS Access Gateway (Public IP Address)
The most used application to access remotely a server is Remote Desktop Connection (RDC). Using RDC you can access seemlessly a resource server through your fingertips. However the RDC can only accessed if you have a server with public IP address. So if you have a local server which doesn’t have public ip address BUT is connected with your internet server (which has IP Address) you have two alternatives.
- Install the 3rd party application like Log Me In
- Install TS Web Access , and access through it.
IN this post i will show you the second approach. We will access RDC into local server thorugh TS Gateway. In this case i have following situation
- Client with Windows Vista SP2
- Local Server is Windows Server 2003 with MOSS
- Public Server is Windows Server 2008 Standard
Let’s get started.
- Open Remote Desktop Connection
- Input you Local IP Address (for example 10.23.1.15)
- Click Advanced then select >> Connect From Anywhere >> Settings
- In Connection Settings input “Use This TS Gateway…”, input your TS Access Address, check the Bypass TS Gateway for Local Address
- Confirm all changes, and click connect
- Please be pattient since it will be slower than RDC to Public Server
Enjoy work from anywhere to manage your server :)
