Hi all and thanks in advance for reading.
I recently got the DGL-4500 as a early Christmas present. I had been using a netgear WPN824 as my home router. The reasons to change were the limited bandwidth or throughput. I pay for a 16MB/2MB service through Comcast and was getting nearly 1/2 that to a worked desktop. While the wife was worse on wireless. So she got me this. I was in bestbuy reading the reviews on newegg.com and this unit by far had the best responses. Once installed I Doubled my bandwidth, when testing to speetest.net I was getting 33mb/7mb tests consistently with this router to my desktop. I am pleased with that do far. I was able to configure Game rules to COD and UNREAL, but the issue I have is that RDP will not work at all. On the old box I was able to forward ports without any issue. RDP is on 3389, enter rule, boom done. Now on the DGL-4500 it is just not functioning. Even is I disable the firewall and everything restart the router and try still noting. I can RDP to the machine while at home but from outside the device it is like not there.
OH I am running version 1.15, the end device is on a static IP. Any help would be appreciated.

Try Virtual Server, should work that way.

I did that one first but nadda. I will try now.
-
Any anti-virus suites on that machine?

Antivirus? None that were not running before. I was functional oneday on teh old router. Thennext after swap. nothing. It is like nothing is even getting to the router. Nothing in the logs at all.

Very interesting. I downloaded NMAP and scanned my router. Even with the Virtual server up the port is not active. Actually none of the ports that I have forwarded are open on the IP. So now I am stumped.
-
What antivirus are you running?
-
Mcafee Enterprise. It does not have a firewall. Vista firewall has RDP enabled in the firewall. but I have also disabled teh Vista Firewall. (Does not like it)
NMAP scanned again and NO ports are open at all.
When I get home tonight I will reset to factory and start over. is tehre anyhting in particular you would like to see? I saw your other post.
-
MacAffee totally has a firewall. Try uninstalling it and see if RDP works.
McAffee does hardware inventory via MAC address.

Ensure that the WAN IP displayed in System / Details is a public IP address. You might be drawing 192.168.100.xxx which is assigned and routed by the cable modem under certain circumstances. Click DHCP Release and DHCP Renew -- repeatedly if necessary -- until you get a public IP address instead of an RFC1918 address.

Ok I have to be honest. Yesterday I was trying all day to connect. The thing is when I went home there was a power failure at home. The router restarted but my computer did not. |I feel like a dufas. The good thing is that whatever change I made got me connected. Now I am in the process of restoring levels of secuiry on the router.
McAfee Enterprise did not have a firewall.
