Hi All,
First question here and am a bit newbie in networking so please bear with me. I am trying to access my workstation player VM from Internet via RDP but haven't been able to do so successfully.
Here is the setup
1. Host : Windows 10 Pro
2. Guest: Windows 10 Pro
3 Host connected with guest via NAT configuration on VMware virtual network adapter, host port 9997 forwarded to guest 3389.
4 Host's inbound firewall rule created to allow incoming connections to 9997.
5 RDP disabled in host windows but enabled in guest windows.
I can RDP into guest without any problem when I am at home by simply giving <host internal ip>:9997.
I thought if I will enable the 9997 port on my router too, I'll be able to get into my Guest VM but that doesn't work.
Then I created a new port forwarding in router to forward all incoming protocol requests on 9996 port to Host's internal ip on 9997, which I thought should automatically be forwarded to guest:3389 but thats also not working.
Now am stuck!!
I don't want to use bridge mode as thats too easy
Let me know please if you have any idea of what else I should be checking.
