RDC Port Forwarding Issue

[bubuie]

Hey guys, here the thing , I am trying to set up a RDC from my office to my home PC , at home I have a Tenda F3 router , found a port forwarding section and added my IPv4 address there with 3389 port , allowed remote connection to PC, but when i am trying to connect from another network with my public IP i get an error that connection could not be made.

 

 

 

Am i doing something wrong here?

If you just want to remote into the office desktop you know Google and Teamviewer have options available that don't require opening ports. Or does your office have rules against the installation of 3rd party software?

What version of Windows do you have? If you're on 10 Pro, you need to enable RDP connections.

 

Go on to Control Panel ---> System On the left hand side there should be this click on Remote settings then a box will open, on the bottom it should say Allow remote connections to this computer and also untick the box underneath it.

 

Windows 10 PRO

 

 

Windows 10 Home

 

If you're using Windows 10 follow this guide because RDP is not available for Windows 10 and if it still not working follow the guide for Windows 10 Pro

What are you entering when you try to RDP. IP address, hostname? 

 

EDIT: BTW; RDP uses UDP not TCP.

Okay. You need also change from TCP to UDP. RDP uses UDP. Also check your firewall on the PC you're trying to connect to make sure RDP is allowed through it.

Are you sure about that?

 

Make sure inbound 3389 is permitted in windows firewall and any applicable router firewall.

Changed that aswell, Disabled firewall completely not to face that issue aswell,

 

when i am trying to check Port number on my IP it says this

Port 3389 is closed on (MY IP)

No need to put the port number it's already open from the port forwarding.

Please elaborate on your stance and what specific rdp functions rely on udp, because udp forwarding is not the reason it's failing.
