QUESTION :
I am running Windows 7 in a VM: The VM was setup using Hyper-V within Windows Server 2012 R2.
First, I configured the Linksys router Port Forwarding for TCP 3389 and 3390. To both IP addresses. I also created Firewall Inbound Rules for Port 3389 and 3390.
To connect within Network, I simply enter the VM IP address or Computer Name, username and password and the connection is successful. I am also able to connect to the Host Machine out of my local Network by using the Public IP address.
The Problem:
When I attempt to access the VM, lets say at a Caribou or the Library, or any other outside Network, I am landing into the Host Machine instead of the VM.
For example:
To log into the VM outside, I used the same Public IP address, the username and password to the VM but I am landing in the Host machine with an error message that the user is invalid.
I have also tried the following: Computer Name:3389 but not successful.
How do I access the VM so that the connection is not going to the Host?
ANSWER :
In order for the described scenario to work, the Guest machine must listen for remote desktop connections on a different port than the host does, unless you use bridged networking.
To set the RDP server to listen to 3390, set the following registery key to “3390”:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminalServerWinStationsRDP-TcpPortNumber
Then restart the Remote Desktop service, or reboot the machine.
