WAN IP Address
My ISP uses the following:
WAN IP Address: 24.57.199.51 Default Gateway: 24.57.192.1 Which IP do I give to a person in Illinois, so that he can connect to my terminal server? This server is on my internal LAN.

WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address. You will have to forward the incoming port (3389?)
through your firewall/router/gateway device to the terminal server. Note that this device is not the same thing as the ISP gateway you listed. Before you do this make sure you understand the security implications. There are many bots scouring the Internet looking for terminal servers. It is imperative that you lock down the terminal server and ensure all accounts in the entire network have strong passwords. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "Patrick Whittle" wrote in message ...

WAN IP Address
Especially since you've told them where to look! It really doesn't matter that someone posts a public IP, even to say they are running a terminal server at that IP. If you are running a terminal server the bots will find it and attack it regardless of whether you post the IP or not. The important thing is to secure the terminal server. Then it doesn't matter who knows the IP. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/

WAN IP Address
Hi
You got the gist of it in the above answers. However there might be substantial difference to the setting and security depending on your setting. I.e. behind a Router, or directly on the Internet. Since you are on Cable Internet connection your IP might stay the same for long time. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "Patrick Whittle" wrote in message ...

WAN IP Address
Which brings another thought:
If you (the O.P.) are on a connection with a dynamic IP address--I.e. it may change, even if that change is infrequent-- and you wish to enable someone to connect over a period of time, you should provide a dynamic DNS entry so that they can connect by name rather than requiring that they know the IP address. See www.dyndns.org for details. You will need to run client software on one of your systems--some consumer-grade nat/router devices have this built-in. "Jack-MVP" wrote in message ...

Thank you for that. My collegue in Illinois will only connect when I have
him on Facebook. The terminal server is pretty much powered-down... constantly. PS There is absolutely nothing, on the server (i.e. spreadsheets, confidentials, etc) "Bill Sanderson" wrote in message news  Which brings another thought: If you (the O.P.) are on a connection with a dynamic IP address--I.e. it may change, even if that change is infrequent-- and you wish to enable someone to connect over a period of time, you should provide a dynamic DNS entry so that they can connect by name rather than requiring that they know the IP address.

Regardless of confidentiality issues, use strong passwords. You may not be
worried about the data on the server, but you should worry about the server being made use of by others for their own purposes--which can be pretty well invisible without careful monitoring.
