  Hello,

  I've a Dlink VPN Router DI-804HV (http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=DI-804HV).

  I've established a PPTP VPN connexion from my computer (Windows XP Pro SP3) at home, to my  DI-804HV Router at my office.
  This VPN connexion works fine.
  I can ping my office computer, but I can't do a remote desktop on my office computer!
  Do you know how can I solve this problem?

  At home, I've a High Speed Internet connexion (ADSL), the IP adresse of my computer is
  IP Address: 192.168.2.15
  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
  DHCP Server: 192.168.2.1
  DNS Server: 192.168.2.1

  At the office, I've a High Speed Internet connexion (ADSL) with a static IP address, the Router is plugged on the ADSL Modem.

  The Router WAN Settings are:
  IP Address: (Static IP Address)
  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  ISP Gateway Address: (ISP Gateway)
  Primary DNS Address: (ISP DNS 1)
  Secondary DNS Address: (ISP DNS 2)

  The Router LAN Settings are:
  IP Address: 192.168.1.254
  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

  There already have a default Firewall rule about the Ping:
  Action Name    Source    Destination    Protocol   
  Allow Ping WAN port WAN,* WAN,* ICMP,*

  I've created a Firewall rule about the RDP:
  Action Name    Source    Destination    Protocol   
  Allow RDP WAN,* LAN,* TCP,3389

  At the office, the Network settings of my computer (Windows XP SP3) are:
  IP Address: 192.168.1.5
  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
  DHCP Server:
  DNS Server: 192.168.1.254
  
  The Remote Desktop is activated/allowed on my office computer (Windows XP Pro SP3), but I can't use it!
  Could you help me please?

  You can check this emulator router at http://support.dlink.com/emulators/di804hv/hwiz.htm

  Thanks a lot,
  Chris

  
  I am not familiar with Dlink, but I see your ICMP and RDP rules are different:
  
  

  
  Action Name    Source    Destination    Protocol   
  Allow              WAN       WAN,*          ICMP,*
  
  Action Name    Source    Destination    Protocol   
  Allow              WAN,*     LAN,*          TCP,3389

  
  The destination ports are different. You may have to set up both a DNAT rule as
  well as a packet filter rule. You may also have to define RDP as a service and
  configure port 3389 TCP. If not, you may want to contact Dlink support.
